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.
