I have a breakpoint buried quite a few levels down in my php....
When I run in debug .. the log window says that the debug session has
started and finished a LOT of times before I navigate through the site until
the break point is reached.

I am running the latest rev of the PHP IDE (Windoze) against the dbg server on
an apache web site ....

Is very disconcerting .. and it makes me think the debug has stopped...

Any ideas ?

as far as I understand, there is nothing wrong.
It starts debugger for each page or frame requested by browser and seems you have breakpoint in a function that is not executed for a LOT of the requests.

You are correct ... I get through a lot of pages/frames before the breakpoint.

I was under the assumption that the debugger just started at the run in the debug "command"
and finished when existing the program, or stopped.

Now I know .... thanks
