System: NetBSD azenomei.falu.nl 2.0 NetBSD 2.0 (AZENOMEI2.0) #1: Tue Jan 11 00:02:19 CET 2005 rhialto@azenomei.falu.nl:/usr/src/sys/arch/alpha/compile/AZENOMEI2.0 alpha
Architecture: alpha
Machine: alpha
>Description:
	pkg_add dumps core (apparently after extracting the binary
	archive). The core file ends up in /var/tmp/instmp.*.
	I'm using pkgsrc-2005Q1. The binary package was just created
	from the same pkgsrc tree.
	
>How-To-Repeat:
	$ sudo pkg_add -u /scratch2/packages/All/gnutls-1.2.3.tgz 
	 72.2%
	Segmentation fault (core dumped)

	This warning occurs if you are debugging a function without any symbols
	(for example, in a stripped executable).  In that case, you may wish to
	increase the size of the search with the `set heuristic-fence-post' command.

	Otherwise, you told GDB there was a function where there isn't one, or
	(more likely) you have encountered a bug in GDB.
