Quite possible. I don't have Snow Leopard, so I don't know what happens
there.

Yes, that is exactly the error I see on Leopard (unless I run gdb as root).

I don't normally do any development on MacOS -- I only got dragged into it
because my patch broke it :-(
I have not tested the latest trunk, nor 7.0 branch, after I've "fixed"
the find_pc_section breakage. I will try trunk tonight, just to confirm that
I can replicate what you see (and maybe fix it if I manage to understand
what's happening).

Why would you think that?
The kernel denies GDB access to debug port; I don't see what this would
have to do with Xcode.
