Debugging Maya Crash on OS X?

[Anonymous]

In the past when debugging Maya code on Linux, I've been able to launch Maya in gdb using: maya -d gdb

From what I can tell, on Linux, 'maya' is actually a shell script that in turn launches the actual executable under gdb. For the life of me, I can't get this to work under OS X. If I launch a maya terminal, executing maya directly calls the maya binary. When I run `gdb maya` and attempt to launch the executable, however, I get the following:

bobscomputer:~ bob$ gdb maya

Am I missing something obvious? How do I actually launch maya under gdb?

Thanks for the help!
