On windows afaik there is not much that can be done.

On linux, you can try iirc set scheduler locking (it can be given al 
command line arg to gdb, so it can be set in bthe global debug options.
But I have not used it myself, ...

Can you send me a log for this?  You use debug info in the exe, not 
external?

Though if it can find the line info, then it should also have the info 
about variables.
What does the thread window show?

If you start the cgi from within lazarus can you see any variables? (as 
far as it gets, before it fails due to missing environment.)
