step is what I have normally used with Highwire and it been ok.
I think this is a more fundamental problem:

(gdb) run
Starting program: /i/usr/src/gentool/gentool.app
Breakpoint 1 at 0x22e6986

Breakpoint 1, 0x22e6986 in main ()
(gdb) n
Single stepping until exit from function main,
which has no line number information.

Then it just runs right through. It doesn't seem to matter where
the breaks are set.
