We have been experiencing the same problem on Solaris 2.8 32-bit while
debugging
a shared library.

from the PROBLEMS file.  There's a new sparc branch to help people work 
on it in the mainline.

I've just downloaded GDB 6.0 and built it for Solaris 2.8.  When examining a 
core from a program (compiled with GNU g++ 2.95.3), the "backtrace" (or "where") 
command only prints stack frames 0-3 for each thread. Passing a number larger 
than 4 to the command makes no difference.  This isn't a problem with gdb 5.3. 
Is this a known bug?
