Well, it's understandable why you think I have optimization
turned on.  That's the first thing I suspected.  But I've learned
the lesson long ago not to turn it on unless I really need the
speed.  Not only can I not debug with it, it takes way too long
to compile in the code development cycle.

In fact, that's not the only anomaly I've encountered.  I'm
finding that invoking member functions of STL containers
(such as "print MyVector.size()") does not do what it should, which
is to return the size in the above example.  It just continues
running the program as if I typed "continue".  Same with
trying to "print MyString", where MyString is of class string.

Anyway, thanks for your attempt to help.
