hi,
  has anybody compiled a version of gdb which has command history
scrollback?  right now i'm using the standard djgpp gdb binary from
gdb412bn.zip and the arrow keys don't work.

PS.  when i start up gdb-dpmi under win3.1 with a c++ program i'm
writing it immediately crashes with:

64344+2560+512 = 67416

i tested gdb-dpmi with a simple hello world program and it worked
fine.  taking a wild guess i'd say its a memory problem.  just in case
it matters, i've got "Ram Doubler" installed (but i've never had a
problem with it in the past).
