Description Corey Ashford CLA 2008-02-20 14:04:04 EST
About 50% of the time when I click the Restart icon, I get an error dialog that pops up and says: "Execution suspended because of an error."  If I then click the Details button, another dialog box pops up with the text:

/dev/pts/1: No such file or directory.
You can't do that without a process to debug.

This is very easy for me to reproduce.  All I have to do is begin debugging a program, and then hit the restart icon... sometimes it works, and very often it doesn't.

To get it to work again, I close the error dialogs, Terminate the debugger, and remove the Terminated launch from the Debug view.  Then start a debug session on the executable again, and it works fine (until I try to use the restart button again, at which point there's about a 50% chance of it working).

I have noticed this problem for quite some time, starting with CDT 3.0, but I haven't reported it until now, because there is a fairly easy but annoying work-around.
