GDB Pretty-Print in CDT Hangs for Specific Project [message #695124]

Here's the scenario: I'm running Ubuntu 11.04, with the most recent version of GDB installed (by default), Eclipse Indigo (most recent as of about a month ago) and CDT installed from updates. I'm attempting to use Eclipse's support for GDB pretty-printing of STL containers, following the instructions from here:

stackoverflow.com/questions/4985414/enable-pretty-printing-for-gdb-in-eclipse-cdt

My configuration appears to be correct, as GDB is producing the correct output (as is DDD). Furthermore, for small test projects (and other projects I tested) Eclipse is also working as expected.

However, for one project -- naturally, the one I actually want the support for -- when launching to Debug my project, Eclipse seems to hang... a breakpoint is hit on the very first line of execution, and the "Variables" box in Eclipse has nothing, with the text "Variables" in italics. Pressing "Resume" seems to do nothing. If I disable pretty-printing by commenting out the python commands in ".gdbinit", debugging works fine.

Has anyone seen this? What could possible cause this?
