I've recently been having applications launched with Xcode

unexpectedly re-launch themselves after I quit them.

The sequence is:

1. Build & run from Xcode

2. Test app

3. Quit app

4. Moments later, notice that app has started up again.

This happens for multiple applications. The second time I quit the

app it stays quitted until the next time I launch it on purpose.

Looking at the apps with "ps" I see that on the initial launch Xcode

is the parent process-- as expected. The second launch has

WindowServer as its parent process, which doesn't make a lot of sense.

There are no console entries that show up when this happens (except

for messages my own apps print out with NSLog).

I've only noticed this since upgrading to 10.4.10. Anyone have any

idea what's going on here? This is with Xcode 2.4 on a MacBook Pro.

Thanks for any clues, this is really getting on my nerves.

Color us stumped. We haven't seen this or have any other reports of it, and 2.4's been in the field for over a year, and no, we didn't secretly update it recently to get on your nerves.

If it was just happening for one project or two I'd say toss the .pbxuser files (which contain the data for the Executables settings that control launching). But if it's happening on multiple apps, it may be that some environment variable is now set that's causing either gdb or Launch Services to behave differently.

Try creating a different user account on the same machine, and building and launching the app from that. If that fixes it, then check the ~/.* files (all hidden files in your home directory) to see if there's anything new or interesting in there, not that I'd know particularly what to look for in this case.
