...the main problem you're seeing is incorrect naming...apple  
requires both the application name and the binary name to be the same  
before it'll load it into gdb...I've talked with Hans about this, but  
he has been very reluctant to change, at least in the near term with  
these "RC*"-releases...

...I think that the naming should go like this:

PureData.app/Contents/MacOS/PureData

(note:  the Info.plist will also need to be changed:  
CFBundleExecutable and CFBundleName)

...this has the added benefit of making it more easily  
distinguishable from "Pd"/"pd" when looking at top...

...in order to distinguish between versions, there are the  
CFBundleGetInfoString/CFBundleShortVersionString/CFBundleVersion  
plist values that can reflect "0.*-extended-RC*", just like all other  
OSX applications...
