It would be nice to receive an acknowledgement that someone was aware of these
problems and was doing somethign about them!

steve-dallas's X server crashed on me (8.1.7) just a moment ago shortly
after I started Netscape. As susual, the core dump was useless (see attached).

I have no idea whether or not this is related to the "blue line" problem.

warning: Hit heuristic-fence-post without finding

warning: enclosing function for address 0x5d3db0d4
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.
