Eclipse CDT, GDB debugging with nRF51822: breaks on every line.

Question

I have Eclipse CDT set up for debugging the ble_app_proximity sample code on a Mac. I can start the GDB server on the console and connect to it. Flashing the code seems to work. I've already flashed the softdevice from a Windows machine. Disconnecting GDB and powering up without debugging, I can connect to the device from the Master Control Panel on a Windows machine. So the device is working without debugging. 
 But when I try to debug from Eclipse, the debugger is stopping on every line within timers_init(). See thread screenshot attached. I would expect clicking the Resume (play) button to take me to my next breakpoint, or resume fully if I have no breakpoints. But no progress is made out of NVIC_SetPendingIRQ().

I suspect what you're seeing is a consequence of Eclipse not behaving correctly with regard to reseting. Have you had a look at this and this question? I'd recommend trying to modify your startup settings, deselecting the "Load" options and do it manually instead.
