Are you using threads, old or new?  Are you forking or using pipes?  Are you 
redirecting STD(IN/OUT) or DB(IN/OUT) anywhere strange?  The possibilities 
are endless.

With little or no information to go on, it's hard to suggest a reasonable 
solution, but you could try using ptkdb as an alternative debugger.  If the 
behaviour continues, the suspect is your code, if it stops, it may be the 
debugger itself.
