Great! So you're able to reproduce this error!?

As far as I know this bug is not yet reported, so please report this. 
There where similar reports (also on Linux) about an endless loop in the
debugger console once an variable is selected which is optimized away.

Please notify us about the bug number and use a higher priority for the bug
report.
