Dull green, usually (check debug output window) means that gdb returned, 
that there is on code on the requested line/number.

With generics, usually the oposite is the case, there are several blocks 
of code containing the location (and on windows, I have seen gdb 
handling that, at least in some cases).

The question then is, if fpc did generate sufficient debug info or if 
gdb has an issue.  (try stabs and dwarf)

ensure you disable "inlining"
