I thought I'd fixed this issue some time ago:
http://mail-index.netbsd.org/source-changes/2008/01/01/0014.html
http://mail-index.netbsd.org/source-changes/2008/01/01/0016.html

Nick then fixed up gdb, and tweaked the stack layout:
http://mail-index.netbsd.org/source-changes/2008/01/12/0018.html
http://mail-index.netbsd.org/source-changes/2008/01/12/0019.html

So it should work.

My first thought is that perhaps shark isn't using something from the
above, and has it's own version due to having to interact with OFW.

Does savecore -v show anything useful?

Thanks,
