Sorry for the delay, I was on vacation.

Well, main() is normally called from inside crt0  from some sort of "start" function.  When you step past the return from main you should return to the frame above main, i.e., to after the call to main inside the "start" function in crt0.

If it is not stopping there it is either a bug or some new situation that did not use to exist.

I don't think we should accept "Program exited normally" until we understand a little bit more of what is actually happening when we get this message.

Fernando
