	curiouser and curiouser!  My Sun4/260 is having a similar
problem running Xsun --- it runs a little bit, and core dumps.  When
it dumps, gdb will not read the core file with that complaint.  I
would have rebuilt the kernel around that time too.  That said, I
havn't had Xsun running yet, and the device driver for the cgtwo0 that
I have is suspect, but FYI... here's the stack trace I get when I run
Xsun under gdb from the start:

Program received signal SIGSEGV (11), Segmentation fault
