dbxread.c:1771: internal-error: sect_index_data not initialized

["Neal E. Coombes" <nealc@trdlnk.com>]

A colleague of mine has found this bug (which I will also make a bug 
report for).  I'm really writing to this list because I'd like to help 
however I can to make gdb 6 suitable for us.

Currently in our development environtment all versions of gdb 5.0 and 
greater have show stopping bugs for us, and gdb 4 doesn't support gcc 3 
(and we don't want to switch back to gcc 2).

We've frozen our compiler at gcc 3.2.3 as it seems stable and able to do 
everything we need.  We'd like to freeze our debugger, but haven't been 
able to yet.  Please help me help gdb by giving me guidance on what more 
I can do.

Before I file the bug report, look below and let me know what other 
information may be relevant.  I'll try in the mean time to write a small 
program that still demonstrates the bug.

Thanks for all help,

Neal E. Coombes
