The debugger has a problem if you step through very quickly. It may cause
timeouts from the device/emulator if you do so, so you might want to step
through at a moderate speed. The other thing you may want to check (to avoid
funky variable displays, etc.) is to make sure you are debugging with
optimizations off. The optimizer does things like register coloring,
rearranging code, etc. so if you debug with opts on you may see strange
results in the debugger.
