How to debug the debugger of visual studio 2008 when debugging a multi threaded application ?

Question

That's a hard title, let me explain what I mean, currently I'm programming a multi threaded application, and when I set a breakpoint in my code :

• Sometimes the breakpoint doesn't break,
• Sometimes the debugger can't evaluate variables,
• Every time, Step by step doesn't work as expected (it jumps anywhere)

My multi thread app has 2 threads : one is waiting user input at Console.Read(), and the other I want to debug.

A co-worker has the same problem with VS 2008. Do you know a solution of this annoying problem ?

Thanks in advance for your help !
