Well, you got guts, I gotta hand it to anyone that would go after program
with adb.  Unless adb has been dramatically enhanced in the last 12 years
since I seriously used it, you really need to download a gdb package from
some sunsite mirror and use it.  I also doubt that adb and connect to a
process in the background, though I realize you could run slapd from adb
(shivers).  No, try ftp'ing to something like sunsite.unc.edu and see if
you can find a pre-built package there with gdb for Solaris 7 and install
it and use that.
