That is bad news, because it seems like it that the

I have osx, freebsd, linux and windows as targets.
Currently debugging with lazarus under osx is a horrible experience :-).
(http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/GDB_Debugger_Tips#Known_Problems
and more)
You can search "macports gdb" for a gdb 7.1 for osx.
BUT afaik it doesn't start app-bundles, you need to start the exe inside
the bundle directly => which may cause other issues...
Also the same may be true for the gdb discussed in these mails => afaik
only the special gdb by apple does the bundle support => and that still
is 6.3-50
-------
Also the gdb of these mails, is about improved displaying of certain
data types.
- objects, if gdb is used outside the IDE => in the IDE it's already done
- strings with index: SomeStringFoo[1] is the first (1-based index)
char, but gdb thinks it is the 2nd.
- some other data types...
------------
For your issues probably start a new mail thread (and on the lazarus list)
=> it it is about the way watches display data, then describe what you
get, and what you expect.. => though in this case not all will be fixed
in the IDE, and some may be better with this new gdb.
=> if it is, about the gdb hangs, or crashes.... then there will be a
need for plenty of logs, etc.
