I want to use VxGDB to print the contents of a pointer which
points to a valid VXI memory location for a specific card.  I have found
that I can't use the "print *" option - I get the following error:

(vxgdb) print ptr
$1 = (int *) 0x20000000
(vxgdb) print *ptr
ptrace: Bad address.
Cannot read memory: address 0x20000000 out of bounds.
(vxgdb)

This appears to be a limitation with ptrace().  I need to 
know *how* I can print the contents of pointers to VXI memory since I
apparently can't do it with "print *".  I would prefer using VxGDB to
do this is possible.  Any suggestions?

Thanks
