Debug under linux freeze problem

[Stavros92]

Hi all,
       although maybe not related directly to lazarus, when implementing and initialize an external .so
(Fmodex sound engine) although the program works fine, if I try to debug, debugger stops at the breakpoint as it should, but when I press F7 or F8  the entire system freezes and I have to reboot. It is so confusing. I have tested this in two pcs with the same results.
Any ideas?
P.S Used latest lazarus svn under FC5

It is known that in some situations X freezes when debugging. (it looks like X is single threaded when handling events)
You can check if this is the case by resetting X (Ctrl-Alt-Backspace)

Well no....when I say freeze...I mean freeze. The only solution is reboot.
I found a workaroung though. This freezeing happens only when root is logged in. Any other user can debug ok. I do not know why, but root's permissions do harm in that case...
Any ideas?

I don´t know, but normally you should not run X as root.
