Maybe somewhere, but not here!  :-)  I have found SDB to be more stable than,
say, CPR, which I find crashing occasionally on perfectly acceptable statements,
and exhibiting all manner of strange behavior.  And both SDB and CPR are
infinitely more powerful than the stuff I "get" to work with at work, CodeView
and MultiScope.  I would kill for the chance to play with an OS/2 version of
EITHER SDB or CPR.

Disclaimer: I do not beat heavily on my debuggers, preferring other debugging
techniques, so I may not have uncovered the same bugs that others who rely
more heavily on debuggers have.
