Something's definitely wrong, but without a testcase or more info about
what's actually happening in dbxout.c, I can't guess what might be
wrong, whether or not its fixed or anything else.

I think we should nail down this problem first, then look at the second
in more detail instead of trying to deal with both at the same time.
