setuid gdb? "sudo gdb" as the debugger?

If you do try setuid gdb, remember to remove this again as soon as you

Haven't tried any of them. If you solve the puzzle, please let us know 
the way you did it. You are not the only one who have hit this problem. 
When I did on Windows, I ran QtC as administrator.
