It would be useful if you could give a reproducible example. Barring that,
perhaps what's happening is that as Cocoa attempts to execute the next line
of ObjectiveC code, your app is crashing.

For example, consider this code:

- (void)drawRect:(NSRect)aRect{
    [@"howdy" concat];
    [super drawRect:aRect];
}

Put this into a custom NSView that shows up in your interface, and set a
breakpoint on the "howdy" line. Start the debugger. When the debugger
pauses, press Step Over. You will fall back into the debugger, in asm view.
This is because you've crashed. To see that this is so, press Continue and
the sigtrap info will appear in the window.
