Breakpoints in Swat and detaching.




Question:
Sometimes when I detach in Swat, then reattach, I get the 'Geos exited'
message and a prompt, but I can't type anything. I then have to end the
task in Windows, or reset the machine if I'm running Swat from the DOS
prompt. 

Answer:
The problem here is most likely that you are using software breaks. To
solve this, don't do anything with the breaks while you are detached from
the target computer. Here's what you shouldn't do: 

     det
     brk delete 5-
     att

This will cause Swat to lockup. Instead, do this:

     brk delete 5-
     det
     att

The other problem is that if you leave Swat doing nothing while it's
detached, it will do the garbage collection. This seems to cause the
'Geos exited' error. If it does the garbage collection while it's
attached, that seems to be okay.
