I can help you with part of your question:

We have had that problem before. I *think* it was on our Sun Sparcs.
The problem seems to be that Sun's dbx cannot read the C++ symbol and
source information. Using gdb solved the problem. The internal error
is from dbx, not our code. You can either compile and debug on a
different architecture, or use gdb.
