My general experience is that debuggers are only useful for the simplest kinds of errors. More complicated error conditions can't be discovered by simply *looking* at data, you need to *compute* to check (checksums, invariants, known equivalent expressions etc), and debuggers really don't help you at that.
I think there is a suggestion in the PROJECT file about integrating Octave into gdb, so that one could use Octave to compute and plot data from the debugee. That would be really handy.
