PROBLEM:  (76484) (PATCH ID: OSF505-062)
********

This patch fixes a segmentation fault problem with the profiling tool
prof.  The problem resides in a few library routines that
access line number information, and can also affect other commands
that use the same routines.  Dbx, odump, and stdump are all at risk.

An example using prof:

prof -pixie vmunix
Profile listing generated Fri Jan  7 15:19:42 2000 with:
    prof -pixie vmunix

Segmentation fault (core dumped)

Another symptom may be a series of "unaligned access" error messages.

This problem is related to new information put out by the compilers and 
linkers, and will not be seen in all cases.
