Here's my problem. I run Final Cut Pro 7. Then from XCode 3.2,

I perform a Run->Attach to Process->Final Cut Pro

But then, the Debugger exits due to a signal 11.

(See Console output, below at bottom).

I've been developing a FxPlug for Final Cut Pro,

successfully, for several months.

Recently, after upgrading to FCP 7 & Motion 4, which may

not be relevant to my problem, since I probably

also upgraded XCode to 3.1 back then too, and possibly other stuff.

After then, I've been unable to debug my FxPlug with a

custom executable (FCP 7) because it exits with a status value 45.

So, currently I can't launch FCP as an executable from the debugger,

nor can I attach to it as a running process.

Next, I upgraded yesterday to Snow Leopard, XCode 3.2,

and FxPlug SDK 1.2.4 -- but problems persisted.

(I'm on an older MacBook Pro 17", so it is Intel based.)

I next tried to isolate the problem, by removing all of my own software plugins,

as well as all 3rd party plugins.

So, I removed everything from /Library/Plug-ins/FxPlug

and ~/Library/Plug-ins/FxPlug

then launched FCP 7, then from XCode 3.2

did the Run->Attach-> to Process->Final Cut Pro.

But the Debugger exited with signal 11

(though, FCP 7 did not exit, it's still running fine).

I tried attaching to Motion 4, as an alternative, but got same results.

The only other thing I can imagine might be

that some of the 3rd party plugins I purchased were protected

by Pace AP (anti-piracy software). But, those are all legit FxPlug-ins,

and after removing them from the Library directories,

they shouldn't be relevant anyway. And FCP 7 & Motion 4

are running fine ... I just can't launch them from the xcode debugger,

or attach to them as running processes. So, I can't debug my own plugins.

So, I'm a bit stumped and don't know how to proceed.

Can anyone give me a few suggestions?

Or at least an idea on what an exit value 45 is,

and what might cause it?
