This is my first attempt at this so please bear with me.

I built a profiling kernel. It worked with no problem. I got
the sources for 'kgmon' and 'gprof' off NET/2, they compiled 
without a complaint. After dumping the profiling data I tried 
analyze with gprof. This worked once every time afterword I'd 
get a "?!?binary search failure" "Bus error" and then a core 
dump.  I tried the GNU version of gprof off of ref. This died
with IOT and a coredump.  Any suggestions would be appreciated.
please respond by mail to saken@world.std.com.
