ndk-gdb crashes JNI

The gdbserver shipped with the android-ndk has some really odd behaviour. The example below crashes instantly as soon as one step is taken, while running it without debugging works perfectly fine:

src/de/ring0/JNITestActivity.java

package de.ring0;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.widget.TextView;

public class JNITestActivity extends Activity {
    /** Called when the activity is first created. */
    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.main);

        System.loadLibrary("JNITest");
        Native n = new Native(23);
*       n.callMe(); // DEBUG Entrypoint

        TextView tv = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.textView);
        tv.setText(((Integer)n.findme).toString());
    }
}

src/de/ring0/Native.java

public class Native {
    public int findme;

    public Native(int xy) {
        findme = xy;
    }
    public native void callMe();
}

Changed the this to thiz but it didn't affect the crash:
