Hi gurus,

i've written a simple C++/"Hello World" application and would like to set a
breakpoint for debugging reasons. The funny thing is that if i set a
breakpoint and instruct gdb to run the application I get an error like this:

Cannot insert breakpoint 1.
Error accessing memory address 0x80486cc: Input/output error.

Aonther observation is that if I code a segmentation fault (that the
heaviest part) the debugger is working fine . I saw lots of similar question
somewhere out there, but no solution for the problem ...

So long,
// Clemens

PS:

gdb --> GNU gdb 6.3
g++ --> g++ (GCC) 3.3.1 (SuSE Linux)
App --> Compiled with "g++ hello.cxx -g -o hello"
