Follow up to this - a simple patch (attached) allows the rtl source to 
show, rather than the assembler window. However there seems to be a more 
fundamental problem, in that a "step into" that ends up stepping into a 
rtl routine like fpc_shortstr_SInt reports a SIGSEGV in the debugged 
program, when no such exception has occurred.
