>Environment:
OSF1 sorrow.e.kth.se V5.0 1094 alpha
(which is 5.0a) and other tru64 releases
>Description:
On tru64 (and earlier releases of osf/1 too) it's imposible to set breakpoints
unless you set $SHELL to some variant of csh or ksh.
>How-To-Repeat:
On tru64 do:

SHELL=/bin/sh gdb /bin/ls
break main
r

which will run the program until exit.

compared to
SHELL=/bin/csh gdb /bin/ls
break main
r

which will do as expected and stop at main
