>Release: 1.4.1
>Environment:
System: NetBSD johnam.kemper.org 1.4.1 NetBSD 1.4.1 (CADET) #16: Wed Nov 17 09:25:19 CST 1999 root@johnam.kemper.org:/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/CADET i386
>Description:
xxgdb is unable to function properly under 1.4.1. I originally had problems
under i386 now I've had another person contact me on a old email, they too
are having the same trouble in the SPARC port.
The status box at the bottom displays messages:
This GDB was configured as "sparc--netbsd"...
(xxgdb) xxgdb error: output from "show directories
" command is not recognized.

The same thing happens with the i386 port and I suspect other ports. I went
back, compiled and used this package under 1.3.x and it works just fine.
I realize this might actually be a NetBSD error, but I figured it couldn't
hurt. Besides, I have no idea what catagory to put this under.
