Why not use a tried and sure method of debugging as well?  Use a pause
statement:

void pause(char *what)
 {
 /* put a cursor save and restore in */
 /* the pointer is so you can pass a message like the following */
 printf("%s", what);
 do
  while(!getc(stdin));
 }

pause("Got to point such and such")

Excuse any codeing errors, I gotta a cold.
