GDB is crashing when trying to debug directly on the machine and I haven't had the time to dive in to figure out why; we've had to limp along using dbx from Solaris Studio in the mean-time. I had hoped if I could get remote debugging to work perhaps the problem wouldn't manifest or would help shed light on the problem by causing a different problem. -brian
