I just gave it a spin - the Apple GDB doesn't catch this case
either. It's a bug, but not one that has been reported by any of
our users if I remember correctly. Project Builder does have a
Console window where people can type all sorts of gdb commands,
but they'd be most naturally inclined to change a local variable
in the Locals window, I suspect, not the console. (PB itself
uses var-assign to update varobjs, of course.)
