gdb works just fine. There are two things to take care of:
- only single-step code compiled with -O0, not -O2. The optimization makes
 line number information somewhat useless.
- you can only place breakpoints in plugins after they have been dlopen'ed.
  I always do a "br vdr.c:336". At that point the plugins are loaded.
