    Aren’t those almost always race condition bugs? The debugger slows execution, so the bug won’t appear when debugging.

    Heisenbug. Nasty buggers, especially in my domain: Embedded Engineering. When you are in the debugger, the whole processor is stopped, missing tons of data coming in, missing interrupts, getting network timeouts, etc. More often than not, resuming makes no sense, and you have to get straight to reboot.
