For these types of bugs, Chris Espinosa's advice is useful:

- If you're having trouble debugging, let us know whether you're using
STABS or Dwarf debug format.  In Terminal, enter:
$ defaults write com.apple.Xcode PBXGDBDebuggerLogToFile YES
$ defaults write com.apple.Xcode PBXGDBDebuggerLogFileName /tmp/
IncludeInBug.log
and excerpt the interesting parts of the log file.  (In Xocde 3.0,
just check the "Debugging Log" checkbox in Preferences > Debugger.

Additionally, I have sometimes been asked to use the "set mi-timings- enabled" command in my .gdbinit file, but I don't know if the debugger guys also need this info.

The "mi-timings-enabled" never hurts, but is only needed when you are reporting a "x operation is slow" type bug.


Note that in Xcode 3.0 and above, you can turn on the logging in the Xcode Debugging Preferences, which is a little easier than going to the Terminal & remembering these magic incantations.
