Oh.. That may be KDevelop's debugger bug. There were some other
people (including me) that breakpoint sometimes doesn't work
although the GUI displays breakpoint.
In case of me, _before_ I start debugging, I remove every breakpoints
previously used and add a new fresh breakpoint.

Or you can start your target program in normal console and attach
that process to KDevelop via Debug->Attach to process. Once attached,
the program pauses excution, and you can set breakpoint after
the program is attached.
