You may have built it with -g to include debugging symbols, but the binary was apparently stripped along the way. If the -s option is passed when doing the final linking, then remove it. If the 'strip' command is being run, comment it out or disable it. Then try running it under gdb again. > ------------------ cut here -------------------- > The locale-dependent character input in troff assumes that the C library > represents wchar_t values as Unicode characters.

Whether OpenBSD meets that requirement probably depends on what operations it performs on wchar_t values. Philip Guenther
