Hi Frank,
To avoid clogging group bandwidth, we might want to take this problem
offline. Can you send a bug report (you may have already) along with the
project to [EMAIL PROTECTED]? This will get it to our tech support people
(and me) to look at. Also, BTW, are you trying to debug via USB on the Mac?
I wonder if this might be a source of the problems...
Thanks!
Rgds,
