gdb reading varibles

[Lynne L. Conover]

        I'm running gdb on a remote target and am trying to read a 51K
structure. The remote system is printing debug messages so I can
see numerous requests for 40 bytes of data. It appears that all of
the read instructions are process correctly, but when gdb goes to
display it, gdb dies. I've run gdb 5.0 compiled as a i586-pc-cygwin,
on a NT machine, as well as ddd using gdb, on a linux 7.1 machine.
Both gdb are also compiled to have targets of i386-coff-go32.
On the NT machine the application just locks up. On the linux
machine, ddd will say something like gdb has a internal error.
        Could gdb be blowing out its stack? How do you increase its
stack
size?
        Any suggestions on how to resolve this problem would be
appreciated.

        Thanks,

        John C.
