Broken debugger

Just a question. How are you supposed to debug unity/monodevelop if it crashes on the break points.

here is where it crashes 4 times in a row.

 //declarations
 private List _itemList;
 private int _totalItems;
 private string[] _itemNames;
 
 
 // this is in my startup/initialize section
 // Load the item list
 _totalItems = Globals.TotalNumberOfItems;  // this is set to 4
 _itemList = new List( _totalItems ); // an array declared as 
 _itemNames = Globals.ItemList;
         
 for( i = 0; i < _totalItems ; i++) // breakpoint is here
 {
    _itemList[i] = (Texture2D)Resources.Load( _itemNames[i], typeof(Texture2D));
 }

this is a really bad program. you have to stop unity to run the debugger in mono.

and every time I stop unity I have to reset my general setting in mono to use .net 4.0 since it cannot remember what I set it too.
