Heh heh, I know about that one.  

But I think I've located the problem-- libtool
seems to be doing a link as -O2 and no debug 
symbols.  Harumph...

That explains why I was able to debug up to a 
point in this project. After I switched over to 
the "autocrap", this gdb hasn't been working
right. 

Don't bother saying it... (about autocrap)  ;-)
