In your subject line, you say that you're having problems on Solaris
7, but I see from the above that your GDB was configured and built on
Solaris 8.  It turns out that the pstatus struct has changed slightly
between these two OS versions.  I don't know for certain that this is
causing the problem, but I do think you'd be much better off using a
GDB that's been built for Solaris 7.
