Debugger fails to debug a simple "hello world" program. [message #208735]

From time to time I have mysterious problems with the debugger. Usually
deleting the project and rebuilding it from scratch fixes it. However
currently it will not debug a simple hello world program. I've deleted
the workspace, and the .project file. It still says:

Error stopping at main.
Target request failed: Target is not responding (timed out).

I'm running on linux. I tried the "verbose" option for gdb, but it
seems to print most of the output on the same line rendering it
unreadable. (prints over itself many times).

If only the simple things would work...

I cleaned up my environment (script I use to start eclipse so it can
build via my build files...) and now it works. What I'd really like is
a way to trace the commands used to start the debugger and interact with
it so I can "see" whats going on when it doesn't work.

Go to the tab "Debugger" in the debug configuration of your application
and check "Verbose console mode". You should see then the commands send to
the debugger.
