OK - it seems not to continue after some time after the breakpoint at
line 4199.

Attached are the log and the script I used.

I'll leave the session open.

This seems to be triggered by something else - I manually entered "c"
but it just gave me this output (also at the end of the log):

,----
| (gdb) c
| Continuing.
| 
| Program received signal EXC_BAD_ACCESS, Could not access memory.
| Reason: KERN_INVALID_ADDRESS at address: 0x00000000016519e0

| 4199	      c->used = 0;
| (gdb) p c->used
| $502 = 26
| (gdb)
`----

Hope this helps,

Rainer
