System name:		FIONAVAR
Type and version:	CVAXSTAR 7.1H
Display type:		SM

What were you trying to do?

	cp /usr/doc/athena/more_c/* .
	make
	dbx blankstrip

And then, in dbx:

dbx version 3.40 of 7/19/90 23:53 (ajax).
Type 'help' for help.
reading symbolic information ...
(dbx) trace instring
[1] trace instring in main.main
(dbx) run
Segmentation violation (core dumped)

What's wrong:
	dbx shouldn't core dump

What should have happened:
	You should be able to trace array variables in main without dying

Please describe any relevant documentation references:
	This bug was mentioned in More C: Unix, dated _August 1988_.
