Sounds like you had a bad build or an old/bad debugger part perhaps. A pretty 
weird problem anyway. Good that it works now. So are we agreed that your 
patch isn't necessary?

This reminds me... Do we have a FAQ atm?

Q/ I run the debugger and it doesn't stop at the breakpoints. The icons remain 
grey
A/ There are two common problems here.
1/ Recompile your program with debug on (for gcc use switchs -g). Note that 
the optimisation switch -On (n=0-3?) may be set but if it's set to >0 may 
cause some odd behaviour. (-O0 means optimisation off)
2/ Make sure the executable you are trying to run exists. Set Project 
Options->Run Options->Main program to the executable.
