Joel,

I have generally not had problems with this.  Did you build GDAL using
the nmake files or the solution?  I've had good luck debugging the
utilities and into GDAL itself with visual studio. I normally run things
from the commandline and pop into visual studio when things crash (even
triggering crashes at select points).

This is usually with visual studio 2003.

Best regards,
