Thanks.

I'll tell you anyway :-) It's a .so produced by Borland's Kylix Object
Pascal compiler. Unfortunately their debugger is incapable of debugging it
(although the same app on windows has no problem). Earlier versions of gdb
seemed to handle it ok.

Is it totally bizarre to have this situation? I know very little about this
sort of stuff. Perhaps there's something wacky in the Pascal source code
that's causing this. If you can think of anything that might cause this,
please let me know. Is it likely to be the linker?

Thanks,
