SDB is a System 5 ism. Lots of UNIX systems have it. No one likes it.
I suggest you use 'CDB' available from APDA or wing it and use one
of the versions of GDB.  Both understand source level debugging, structures
and pointers, etc. I personally like CDB. 

Sorry about SDB, I'll flame AT&T from you (and me again) next time
I talk to them!
