 I agree in principle, but the malloc-avoidance is not trivial in this
 case (maybe it should, and we shouold fix that problem instead?) - anyway,
 I tought I had worked around the problem by adding
 
 #ifdef DDB
 	db_init_commands();
 #endif
 
 to init_main.c in rev. 1.315, which solves the problem on sparc64 at least.
 Could you double check if you have that in your tree?
 Or is DDB not defined for you? Maybe missing an opt_ddb.h include?
