Attached - though I don't really get anything from the stepping:

(gdb) break +[NSProcessInfo initialize]
Breakpoint 1 at 0x407fe22c: file NSProcessInfo.m, line 843.

Add directory DIR to beginning of search path for source files.
Forget cached info on source file locations and line positions.
DIR can also be $cwd for the current working directory, or $cdir for the
directory in which the source file was compiled into object code.
With no argument, reset the search path to $cdir:$cwd, the default.
Source directories searched: /home/dannf:$cdir:$cwd
