Good news for folks that want to debug dynamically loaded code: I just
tried to debug a dynamically loaded Star under RedHat Linux 5.2 and it
works although the Ptolemy binaries are not compiled for debugging.
Ptolemy can be started with "pigi -debug". If the dynamically loaded
Star is compiled with debug info then one can directly set a breakpoint
to an arbitrary function or line of its code (e.g. "break
SDFMyStar::go") after the Star has been loaded. All debugging commands I
tried worked just fine.
