What's up with this? I'm trying to debug an app under XCode and I keep
getting this error "The Debugger as exited due to a signal 11
(SIGSEGV)"

I never even get to main()

This can happen if you have large (8 Mb or so) stack-based variables in
main.

Well the weird thing is that this debugged just fine on a G4 Powerbook
but chokes on a MacBook Pro.
Other clues I've found from the Apple lists suggested to examine the
crash log. Turns out it was dying in reading the debugger symbols. On
a lark I tried changing from DWARF with dSYM to DWARF and now I can
debug again.
