If this is the same as the front end that I got with my commercial
Cygnus Code Fusion, then it indeed has a few bugs. I have yet to get it
to work right. On multiple machines (both SMP), stopping a debug causes
reboot. Nobody ever figured out why it was doing this, and its behavior
is not limited to one machine. This was a long time ago though, so maybe
quality has picked up some (I wouldn't bet on it).
