I am using V9.0.5 rc1 and I am not having any of these kinds of debugging crashes. I rarely step over though. Almost always I step into or out of. (I think I have that right.)

I've sent in many crash logs but it's only recently I've discovered it happens only with Step Over. It's hard to believe no one else has seen this, which I've been seeing since LC 9 first came out, but that's why I didn't know what was in the variable.
