kdb-v1.8a-2.4.5-ia64-010626 is available in
ftp://oss.sgi.com/projects/kdb/download/ia64.

kdb is being upgraded with some new features for better automatic bug
reporting, this is a partial release, hence 1.8a.

The major change from 1.8 to 1.8a is the addition of longjmp() support
for kdb.  The LINES parameter is now honoured so you can quit out of a
long set of output, set LINES=0 to get no paging.  The big advantage of
longjmp() support is that kdb can now attempt to recover from internal
errors, including bad addresses.  See also variable RECURSE in
Documentation/kdb/kdb.mm.
