problem with gdb on SUN Solaris 7

[Addis Bernardetta]

When I run gdb on any program (compiled with gcc -g) I get the
following:

GDB is free software, covered by the GNU General Public License, and you
are
welcome to change it and/or distribute copies of it under certain
conditions.
Type "show copying" to see the conditions.
There is absolutely no warranty for GDB.  Type "show warranty" for

This GDB was configured as "sparc-sun-solaris2.8"...
(gdb) run
Starting program: /export/home/addis/aggeggi/download/prova 
procfs: init_inferior, get_traced_signals line 4565, /proc/2661: Value
too large for defined data type.
(gdb) q


What does it mean???
Notice that if I run it as root, everithing is ok.
Thanks,
