Try 1: compile with -g and see if you can debug it.
Try 2: There are bugs in the win32 version of gdb that disables stepping
into certain template instantiations. In this case, you may want to try
compiling with -ggdb (and perhaps -gstabs) and see if it helps.
Try 3: Mail me the code (the shortest possible piece that causes the 
problem), and perhaps I'll get a chance to look at it.

Let me apologize on behalf of all who support win32 for the lack of
support in gdb for debugging template instantiations. We need to get
this fixed, but nobody has volunteered yet.

Regards,
Mumit
