* Under Ultrix 4.2 (DECstation-3100) or Alphas under OSF/1, we have
seen problems with backtraces after interrupting the inferior out
of a read(). The problem is caused by ptrace() returning an
- incorrect value for the frame pointer register (15 or 30). As far
- as we can tell, this is a kernel problem. Any help with this
- would be greatly appreciated.

* On the SPARC GDB reports incorrect values of struct arguments to
functions, for the seventh and subsequent arguments. We have been looking
dbx has the same problems with those executables. A workaround is to
specify -Wl,-b when linking, but that will increase the executable size
considerably.
- If a structure is declared as opaque in one file (e.g. "struct foo *"
+ If a structure has incomplete type in one file (e.g. "struct foo *"
without a definition for "struct foo"), gdb will be unable to find the
