I took your advise and tried it all -- it's been a week now and I'm ready to
give up
I tried w/ CW Pro 5, Pro 5.3, Pro 6.0 -- nothing
I do not think it has anything to do w/ caching or a memory leak in the
debugger -- I get the problem right away, first run, any line in the main;
i.e. freshly build, freshly run, even tried restarting OS before running,
etc.
I'd really like to get The Debugger (I assume you mean MWDebug) -- I only
have Pro 4, 5 and 6 -- who should I contact to get MWDebug from CW Pro 2 or
whatever version it came with last

FYI: the appl. xSYM file is about 3MB
apparently, when I step, the debugger does stop, but there is no context
info: the debug window says that the appl is executing, but the processes
window tells me that the (main) thread is stopped
what may cause the debugger to loose its context? -- please do not tell me
that the Data folders are corrupted, I've rebuild it today a thousand times
already (thrown Data folders away, yada,yada, yada)

any other things I could try? any settings that may cause this?
TIA,
--Ranko
