Bad Magic number using dbx on core dumps

[Paul Fons]

  I am running BSD 4.3 (Sony Rev 3.91R ) on a Sony RISC News (R3000 CPU).  The
C compiler and dbx are both by MIPS and I am finding that when I generate a 
core dump that I can't read the resulting file as dbx complains about a bad magic
number.  Does anyone out there who has used a MIPS machine under BSD have a
solution?  It is very frustrating to have a program dump core and not have any
way to look at what happened.  By the way dbx does seem to work perfectly on
binaries generated by ld (e.g. if I load an executable into dbx).
