ddd segfault on AIX (was: WHY ddd on aix tries to run gdb, not db x!)

[Tarendash, David]

Thanks Tim for he suggestion that its a 'ddd' problem.

I ran dbx on DDD and this is the stacktrace..it appears that there *might* be a Font problem. Does anyone have any suggestions???

ddd is only trying to run gdb because ddd itself core dumped.  You may
be seeing the error from /bin/sh before you see the messages from ddd
because of buffering.
