SPARC: Problems With dbx Debugger While Processing 64-bit Objects (6347707)

The dbx debugger terminates with a memory access failure while processing certain 64-bit executable files and libraries. However, the problem does not affect the normal use of these 64-bit objects. An error message similar to the following example is displayed:

dbx: internal error: signal SIGBUS (invalid address alignment)

Workaround: Use either the mdb debugger or the Solaris Dynamic Tracing facility instead. These alternatives can diagnose processes that use the 64-bit objects.
