I havn't been able to reproduce this with "simple" -base tests, but with 
ProjectCenter.

I "break" at main, "next" all the way to NSApplicationMain, step into  
it and when trying to 'next' over the creation of the autorelease pool, 
gdb continues (i.e. dosen't stop when the creation returns).  Note that 
in main there is already a release pool created and destroyed before 
calling NSApplicationMain.

(As apps are not something easily debugable through ssh, I'll start 
looking into it and see if I can figure out what's going on.)
