Something gross has happened to gdb's cached symfiles. When the
developer tools are being installed, gdb makes a cache of its internal
version of the symbols from the stuff under /System/Library/Frameworks,
which it can use to speed up debugger startup time. We have seen
several cases now where these get trashed somehow, but we haven't been
able to pin down how it happens. Anyway, you can either recreate them
by doing
sudo /usr/libexec/gdb/cache-symfiles
or if that doesn't work, then you can just delete them altogether by
doing:
sudo rm -rf /usr/libexec/gdb/symfiles

A problem internal to GDB has been detected. Further
debugging may prove unreliable.
The Debugger has exited with status 1.The Debugger has exited with
status 1.
The application icon bounces a couple of times and then the app quits.
It runs just fine without the debugger.
Anyone seen this before or have any idea where I can start looking to
solve this?
