I will show this in-person to whomever is going to try and fix this one.
When I run ez under gdb 3.6- I get the error message:
Program received signal 12, Bad system call
0x77a48 in syscall (20, 627164, -2146675169, 2147468168, 1)
I believe anyone executing a pioctl call (for AFS specific operations)
in their program under gdb will get this error.
My current work-around is just to hit 'c' and it goes along.
Still, it's a damned nuisance and it may be due to nothing more than gdb
not having quite the right system call table mentioned.
