We've seen this a lot with xcode 1.5 where I work (even on dual 2G G5s). I had this happen all the time on slower machines (PB 17" also), especially with XCode 1.5. It particularly seems to happen in large source files where it takes too long to load the file.

If we do a completely full clean of the source and re-check it out from source code control that sometimes fixes it, but not always. Some combination of black magic, restarting xcode, restarting the machine, deleting everything relating to the project etc will usually fix it, eventually. maddening and kills your ability to debug.

It makes debugging impossible once it gets that "timed out fetching data" message.

But the only real fix I found was to get a much faster machine. It seems to happen less with xcode 2.2, but that might be because I gave up trying to use the 17" PB.

I'd love to know where to set that timeout value so I could use my PB for development on a large project again once in a while. Or to have apple fix the bug.

I can verify this has happened to me more than several occasions, primarily on
an intel iMac. This coupled with the fact that the debugger shows the wrong
source code (Re: Debugger can't find correct source file) or wrong line in the
source code makes debugging under XCode a challenge to say the least.

Hmmm. In my case it always shows the correct source, and correct variable
values. It shows the correct line until I get the timeout message while
stepping, and after that it just doesn't ever change the displayed line
again--which might even be correct because as far as I can tell the
application might not ever be resuming.
