I have to power-cycle my machine??
I suspect it will exit if you quit Xcode.
It did. Yay!
And what should I do in future to avoid this outcome?
My guess is that if you use the Tasks button to kill the app it
won't happen in the future. Also, if you turn off "Auto-attach
debugger on crash" for the executable in the project, and use the
Debug command instead of Run when you want to debug, that will
probably avoid the issue.
Lastly, upgrading to Snow Leopard and Xcode 3.2 will probably avoid
it.
I shall do all except for the last. I fear Snow Leopard. :->
More to the point, I'm targeting 10.5 specifically (the compute
cluster I'm coding to is all 10.5 Xserves) so it's easier to just be
on 10.5.
Thanks!
