Yes, but that's simply what you get when you debug a vital system server.
I'm sure the same happens when you try that with certain app server threads.
Anyway, that reminds me, that we should change a lot of the static libbe
(and to a lesser extend libroot) initialization to be done lazily instead.
There's an awful lot of stuff happening (particularly semaphore creation)
for any program just linking against libbe.
