EXC_BREAKPOINT crash when debugging with Xcode 3.2

I have a fairly unusual yet very annoying problem.

Sometimes when debugging my app, I'll be stopped in the Xcode debugger investigating some code. Not frequently, but often enough, the debugger will stop responding to my attempts to twiddle disclosure triangles to see variables. If I wait long enough, eventually I get a system crash dialog noting an exception of type EXC_BREAKPOINT. Needless to say, my debugging session ends. ;-)

A separate, but possibly related, issue is that sometimes when enabling or disabling breakpoints, my app will spontaneously quit, and Xcode will note that it exited with the result 1. No crash dialog results in this case. So now I'm leery of enabling/disabling breakpoints while debugging.

More background info: I'm debugging a 32-bit Intel-only Mac app that is heavily C++ based. I've seen this happen on both a gimpy iMac Core Duo 1.8 GHz and a early 2008 quad-core Mac Pro, both with 10.6.1/Xcode 3.2/gcc 4.0. There are roughly 1100 .cpp source files in this project.

This is not reproducible with any regularity. What can I do to help track this down?

For the moment I have enough hair that I can afford to keep pulling it out, but it's becoming a limited resource. ;-)
