It sounds as if you have optimization turned on, which can confuse the
debugger, especially if stack variables are being stored in registers or
being reused.
Try turning off all optimizations for debugging (recommended) or declaring a
and b as volatile CharPtr or volatile Char *a, *b (I'd turn off
optimizations).
