Chris,

I've just now been trying to do this, but it doesn't work, or I need
coffee, or something...

First of all, I have 'fb szone_error' in my .gdbinit file.  Next, I
launch my app in the xCode debugger, hit my splash screen, hit pause,
and type:

(gdb) info b
Num Type           Disp Enb Address    What
1   breakpoint     keep y   0x9289dd68 <-[NSException raise]>
2   breakpoint     keep y   0x92950b74 <-[_NSZombie release]>
3   breakpoint     keep y   <PENDING>  szone_error

hmmm, .gdbinit worked for 2 of 3... why is szone_error pending?  Anyway, then:

(gdb) b szone_error
Breakpoint 4 at 0x9010d144
(gdb) info b
Num Type           Disp Enb Address    What
1   breakpoint     keep y   0x9289dd68 <-[NSException raise]>
2   breakpoint     keep y   0x92950b74 <-[_NSZombie release]>
3   breakpoint     keep y   <PENDING>  szone_error
4   breakpoint     keep y   0x9010d144 <szone_error+36>
(gdb) c
Continuing.
Pending breakpoint 3 - "szone_error" resolved

OK, looks like I should have 2 breakpoints there!  Now repro a bug...

Brainsight(29735,0xa000ef98) malloc: ***  Deallocation of a pointer not
malloced: 0xf252a0; This could be a double free(), or free() called with
the middle of an allocated block; Try setting environment variable
MallocHelp to see tools to help debug
Brainsight(29735,0xa000ef98) malloc: *** error for object 0xf25730: Non-
aligned pointer being freed (2)
Brainsight(29735,0xa000ef98) malloc: *** set a breakpoint in szone_error

Brainsight(29735,0xa000ef98) malloc: *** error for object 0xf25770: Non-
aligned pointer being freed (2)
Brainsight(29735,0xa000ef98) malloc: *** set a breakpoint in szone_error
to debug

etc. etc. ad nauseum,

But it never breaks!  Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks!
