Ooops. Never mind what this program does.  The fact that "a" is 
uninitialised is irrelevant - gdb bombs regardless every time, 
as per my previous post.  I just wanted something simple, and 
ended up writing a program using an unitialised variable  -
just my luck :(

However, if any of you has a solution to gdb bombing out on
me, please let me know.  As much as I like FreeBSD, I can't
really devote my machine to it if I can't get gdb working.

Thanks,

Raoul
