In fact XCode uses gdb as its debugger and I was just curious whether  
you could debug any Mac OS X application with it. And you can!  
Richard, why not use XCode for debugging? What you need to do is to  
create a new empty project in XCode and add the executable to it that  
you would like to debug (click on Project->New Custom Executable...).  
Now you can start gdb from within a nifty Cocoa interface by clicking  
on Debug->Debug Executable. I think you should give it a shot. The  
debugger interface is awesome!
