[Omp] Good OpenMP Debuggers?

Hi,

I have been searching for a good OpenMP debugger recently, and was not really 
satisfied with the results so far. Some did not let me step through my 
parallel regions, some did not show my private variables and some just 
crashed constantly or did not execute my programs correctly at all. I have 
tried Totalview, DDT, the Sun Studio debugger and the Portland Group 
debugger. Oh and gdb and the Intel Debugger I have tried some time ago. Have 
I missed any good ones? Or am I just too stupid to use them correctly?? 

Some of these debuggers do a really great job with MPI-programs, yet threaded 
debugging seems to be a totally different story. What do you use if you have 
to debug OpenMP-code?

Thanks for your answers,
Michael Süß
