It may be obvious, but in case it is not,  don't replace the "....." 
with simh arguments.  That would produce a "No such file or directory" 
message.

Instead, after typing:

$ gdb ./vax

run the program with

(gdb) run Program_Arguments

where <Program_Arguments> are the arguments you would normally provide 
on the command line to simh.

Then, follow the rest of Jan-Benedict's instructions (make it segfault, 
and get a backtrace).  Actually, after typing "bt", it might help to 
also say "bt full",  to provide additional information (about local 
variable values), without cluttering up the initial backtrace.
