Now host halted. AIX 4.2(IBM RS/6000 F50) and AIX 4.3.1(IBM RS/6000 S70)
have 'adb' problem. But AIX 4.3.2 haven't the 'adb' problem. I have tested
it under my AIX box. Is it bug of AIX 4.2, 4.3.1?


AIX 4.3.2 has the problem too if you have the bos.adt.debug fileset
installed.

# which adb
/usr/bin/adb
# lslpp -w /usr/bin/adb
  File                                        Fileset               Type
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
  /usr/bin/adb                                bos.adt.debug         File
