mipsread.c:379: internal-error: sect_index_data not initialized

[To, Vince \(Business Solutions\)]

Hi,

 

I’ve encountered a bug that causes GDB to crash whenever I attempt to run a complex (more complex than hello world….) binary. The error is as follows:

 

/*start*/

This GDB was configured as "alphaev56-dec-osf5.1".

I’m running an Alpha server with Tru64 UNIX. I can provide a core file if necessary.
