386bsd 0.1 PL58

xxgdb blows out when sucking in wish's 3.4 MB of symbols.  Gnuware's
fondness for alloca and such makes the default maxstack of 512K seem
uncomfortably small, and just another limit to stop otherwise perfectly
working programs. (sigh)

bash users will want to do a "ulimit -s 4096", or more.

csh users, well, RTFM.
