I take it the logs for your application don't correspond to these

you can first make 100% sure that gdb isn't going away by running
your app in the debugger up to the point where you are about to
open this. Then get a terminal window, and do (i386->powerpc is
you are on a powerpc system):

Okay, I'll give it a try. And thanks for reminding me why I
decided to be a Mac user all those years ago.
That was uncalled for. An Apple engineer is actually trying to help
you figure out why the debugger isn't working for you. They don't
have to do that you know...
Don't lecture me.
Then go to Xcode and open "this". See what happens in the
terminal when your app "goes away". You'll either see a crash,
or hit the breakpoint at exit or abort. If you don't see
anything unusual here, then something is actually causing your
app to exit. You might try putting a breakpoint on _exit and
abort in your app, and then see if opening "this" triggers either
of these breakpoints in you app.
Okay.
Are you guys aware of how painful this is compared to what Mac
development should be?
Ah, yes, Codewarrior never had any bugs. Please.
Please, CodeWarrior had an occasional bug, but virtually everything I
need to do in Xcode is either awkward at best or doesn't work at worst.
Again, someone is trying to help you get to the bottom of your
problem and you just insult them.
It wasn't an insult. Sorry you decided to interpret it that way. I
was grumbling, grumbling because I specifically chose the Mac as my
platform of choice because I didn't want to deal with command line
interfaces.
If nothing else, the ability to debug gdb from gdb to diagnose a
problem and potentially get a fix is a neat trick.
It's a neat trick if you can figure out that cryptic stuff and a neat
trick I never needed before using Xcode. If you consider that
insulting, well, you have every right to interpret it that way.
