Steve,

Thanks for the reply.

You're right, I was asking "how can I get around this gdb error".

Since then I 've managed to solve my immediate problem--it was a subtle but improper data setup prior to calling the vDSP function vDSP_fft_zipD (subtle, at least to me).  That fixed and the gdb error is no more.

Still, I would like to know a bit more about the  "Error from Debugger:Previous frame inner to this frame (gdb could not unwind past this frame)" error--conditions that cause it and strategies to counter it.  Are you aware of any references?

Again, thanks.  Don
