System: NetBSD qpoint 1.2D NetBSD 1.2D (QPOINT) #0: Sat Mar 22 18:11:37 EST 1997 dej@qpoint:/local/src/sys.970322/arch/amiga/compile/QPOINT amiga


>Description:
	
	In /gnu/usr.bin/gdb/gdb/remote_ipkdb.c, we have:

	sin.sin_family = AF_INET;
	sin.sin_port = 1138;
	sin.sin_addr.s_addr = 0;
	if (bind(ipkdb_desc, (struct sockaddr *)&sin, sizeof sin) < 0)
		fatal("netopen: bind failed\n");

Now, I've never tried to run ipkdb, but I think the above will fail if you
are initiating gdb from a little-endian machine.  The "1138" needs to
be put in network byte order.

>How-To-Repeat:
	
	As I said, I've never tried it. 
>Fix:
	
	sin.sin_port = htons(1138);
