You recently reported a problem with dbx on the VAXstation in which dbx
reported
dbx: internal error: reference through nil pointer on line 121 of languages.c
This error was caused by the latest version of gcc, which produces
debugging symbols for gdb. dbx may not understand all of these symbols.
The solution is to compile your program with the -gstabs option, as in
gcc -c -g -gstabs <filename>.c
This option will become the default in the next version of gcc.
