[xdebug-general] Problem with Namespaces

I am using PHP 5.3 with namespaces, like so:-

namespace snb\cms\controller;

class TestNamespace
{
        public function showAction()
        {
                echo "<h1>in show action</h1>";
        }
}

I also use an autoloader that maps classes to files, based on their
namespace. The above example maps to:-
/cms/controller/testnamespace.php

The autoloader ends like this:-

                if (file_exists($path))
                {
                        require $path;
                        return true;
                }

As soon as the 'require' statement is reached, the debugger appears to
disconnect. I can step over the code up to this line, but as soon as
the include happens the debugger is gone.

Since I have xDebug working fine for ages, and I have just started to
use namespaces, I suspect the two things are linked.

Has anyone else encountered problems using xDebug with namespaces
and/or autoloading classes.

Thanks
