eclipse php xdebug debugger error unexpected termination of script none

Description Kevin Moore CLA 2011-06-07 18:03:33 EDT 
Build Identifier: 3.6.2

While debugging a php script using xdebug, if the variables tab is open than apache crashes and displays an error "Unexpected termination of script. Debugging ended." Also if you do not have variables tab open and you are stepping through the code and then you switch to the variables tab it will still crash. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Run an xdebug session with some break points.
2.Open the variables tab view.
3.Step through the code while variables tab is active.

I was also using XAMPP version 1.7.4 with php 5.3.5
Comment 2 DJ Houghton CLA 2011-06-08 09:16:05 EDT 
Not sure if this is a generic debug problem or indicative of a problem with interactions in PHP. Moving to Platform/Debug for comment.

Someone suggested disabling Show super globals in variable view
in this thread:

I can confirm this works for me (although not having access to super globals is obviously not ideal).

eclipse php xdebug debugger error unexpected termination of script

As of 2011 reported the actual Eclipse Version 
4.21.0
Crashes while debugging.
The workaround with the hide of the variables did not work.
