I'm not familiar with this system; is it a stand-alone program that creates
files offline? If so, perhaps the compilation of its source file(s) does not
include the "-g" compile option. This option tells the compiler to generate
symbolic information that can then be used by debuggers.
If the -g option is present, make sure the "strip" command, which is used
to strip symbols from a binary (and significantly reduce its size) is not
being used on the file. From your shell, "file <executable-name>" will tell
you if the executable is stripped or not.

My reply is to the list because this is something many people do not know.
