Newbie gdb and Palm OS 5 Simulator debugging question

[Daryl Huff]

I'm trying to debug my first Palm app using the PRC tools and I can't 
get gdb (m68k-palmos-gdb) to connect to the Palm OS 5 Simulator to debug 
my app.  I carefully followed the instructions at 
http://prc-tools.sourceforge.net/install/cygwin.html to install 
everything onto my Win XP system.  I have the SDK and PilRC on my system 
and I can compile and run my app fine in the Simulator.  I did build and 
link with the -g flag set.

However, when I go to connect the debugger to the simulator.  I

  -start the simulator,
  -double check the debugging port is set to "localhost:2000",
  -load my app (Hello2 from PalmOS Programming Bible),
  -start GDB with the name of the app "m68k-palmos-gdb hello2"
  -type in "target pilot localhost:2000"
and all the cygwin window does is print the following:

Remote debugging under PalmOS using localhost:2000
Waiting... (Press Ctrl-C to connect to halted machine)
I run my app in the simulator and the gdb window never seems to connect. 
 If I close the simulator window the cygwin window immediatly reports:

Couldn't establish connection to remote target
Remote communication error: Connection reset by peer.
So I know it must have known about the Simulator window.

I must be doing something basic incorrectly but for the life of me I 
can't figure out what.  Please help.

Thanks,
Daryl
