subj.
MSVC6 SP5
VA X 1216
W2K SP3 IE6
It occurs every time when I debug my app, even if VA X is "disabled". I'he deinstalled it and the problem is disappeared.

I have the same setup (vc6 sp5, win2k sp3) and am observing the same behavior, with 1216 and 1218.
Simply running the program through the debugger (F5) doesn't cause a problem, but MSVC locks up when I try to continue (F5) or step out of a function (shift-F11) after stopping execution through the debugger (start program with step, or hit a breakpoint). Both step-over and step-into work, but MSVC stops responding when trying to continue or step-out.

This is a real show-stopper when trying to find memory leaks and other bugs, and I've had to revert back to VA6 to do debugging work.

Same problem here. Also vc6 and win2k.

Continue and step-out halts the debugger. Step-over doesn't. It also doesn't have to be a debugger command to step out, If I just step over the last command in a function the debugger will halt when it goes out.

If I use task manager to kill MSDEV.exe the system remains stable (So it's probably not related to the BSOD debugger problem other users reported).

If VA X is enabled, the debugger will halt every time this occures. If I disable it but keep it installed, it can takes several break-and-continue before it halts, but it will do so eventually.

Also, though I'm not sure if it's related, starting to debug a program that crashed with an assertion failure while not being debugged (That is, I run the program normally, then from the crash dialog choose to debug the program, and have a new instance of MSDev started) causes the new debugger to halt while loading.

Removing all other Add-Ins have no effect.

Is there any progress towards resolving this?
Anything we can try and check to help locate what's causing the problem?

I notice that a few more people have apparently the same problem

So far the common denominator seems to be VS6, and maybe Win2k...
