dbx hangs on debug load

You might be running into a bug in Solaris (the "hang bug") that

first hit Solaris 10.

There is more information here:

Try hitting ctrl-C a few times to see if the dbx prompt comes back.

I was not aware that this bug had migrated back into Solaris 9.

I'll look into it and let you know.

Does dbx come back if you ctrl-C a few times?

In Solaris 10 the problem happened because FIX1 caused

a bug that required FIX2. In Solaris 9 they put FIX1 and FIX2

in the same patch. So the problem isn't supposed to happen

on Solaris 9.

So I'm still not sure what problem you're having.

Does it happen with a C hello world program?

Does it happen if you statically link the C++ program?
