While investigating bugs [26695], I found that dbx hangs on start-up.
It looks like this is a known problem with Sun patch 118822-19, which
we applied in 9.4.19. It apparently also causes gdb to hang when
the kill command is issued. A new revision of the patch is available
which claims to have a fix for the problem. I will look into it.
A workaround is to run "prun <pid>" on the process being debugged
(i.e. the child of the debugger process).
