Hi Erik,

Can you provide some more information?

- what revision is your OS, debugger, and ddd?
- what is your compile line
  (a lot of people don't know to turn on debugging!)

You say that

 "Initially ddd was kind enough to show tracking PC pointers in both
  the Source Window and Machine Code Window. After the latest build
  of my application, only the latter pointer shows,..."

So what changed? between the time when it worked, and when it failed?

If you're desperate, you can try deleting your settings directory ~/.ddd

Cheers,
Andrew
