Yes that's true. I notice that in my current project which is a fairly 
big client server application in Visual Studio C++ . Although the 
debugger there is probably one of the finest in this field, I am running 
into lots of situations where the cause of the bug lies in the past and 
is propagated through multiple threads and thus the debugger does not 
help very much.

I am working on a logging system that uses an Ada program to log data to 
and then clients that connect and can see various parts of the logged 
data based on channels and priorities etc. I have something like that 
already but it's not very fast, I was very new to Ada when I did that 
and didn't quite understand how to use tasks and protected objects. I'm 
not sure if I'll be able to finish that in the time I have for it, but 
it would be a great help for tracing down errors.
