I have seen this behavior as well.  I don't know how to fix it.  In my case, 
the program doesn't terminate, it just breaks.  I can press the "Cont" button 
on ddd and it will continue executing.  

Is it possible that your colleague has linked his target program with shared 
libraries, and you are using static libraries?

I have problems debugging any program that uses shared libraries. The target 
program breaks when executing code in a shared library.  Is there a workaround 
for THIS problem?
