Local variable does not appear in CW debugger window

[David Beers]

I'm debugging an app that borrows a good deal of code from the SDK samples
and having a curious problem.  When I step through to what appears to be the
offending function I notice that one of the local variables declared in the
function doesn't display in the debugger window.  All the others are there
with their values, but this one UInt16 type variable is simply absent.  What
can cause this to happen?

Using Codewarrior 8.3 with POSE 3.5 and SDK 4.  Here's the function that I'm
having trouble with, for what it's worth (it's almost straight out the
Address application):

void UnpackRecord (NeslPackedDBRecord *packed,
                          NeslDBRecordType *record)
{
    Int16   index;
    UInt16  flags;  <--This is the variable that is missing in the debugger
    char    *p;

    record->status = packed->status;
    flags = packed->flags.allBits;
    p = &packed->firstField;

    for (index = 0; index < NeslFieldCount; index++)
    {
        if (GetBitMacro(flags, index) != 0)
        {
            record->fields[index] = p;
            p += StrLen(p) + 1;
        }
        else
        {
            record->fields[index] = NULL;
        }
    }
}
