Ok, thank you for the information Scott. I think I found the issue today
which is causing the QEmu script to terminate pre-maturely.
I am using the eclipse-poky master branch as my eclipse plugin and it
threw an error today when I tried to debug - which coincided with the
QEmu and terminal window terminating. The errror I recieved was:

Which looks like a CDT bug or the interfacing with CDT. I could file a
bug report if you think it is related to the poky-eclipse plugin?
Cheers,
Jack.
