>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.

>How-To-Repeat:
	Build, execute and watch it fail.

	unknown.
