Problem Description: 

	Large C++ structs may overflow the dbx internal argument stack.
	A 'print' of a large struct will fail with the standard dbx.

	Message output:

		"stack overflow: expression too large to evaluate"


INSTALL: 

	dbx may be placed in any directory provided that the directory is
	included in the PATH environment variable.

	To install where the bundled dbx goes:

	1) su		<as root>
	2) mv /usr/ucb/dbx /usr/ucb/dbx.FCS
	3) cp dbx /usr/ucb
