[openSUSE] C++ debugger gets into a never ending loop

Type: Debugger
Input information below
cppdbg

Please review existing issues and our documentation at https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode-cpptools/tree/master/Documentation prior to filing an issue.

Describe the bug
The debugger gets into a never ending loop! In version 1.28 the debugger control bar didn't show and I had to exit vscode completely. With 1.29 update the debugger control bar shows up but pause, step over, step in/out and restart are inactive, only the stop is active, so in 1.29 I can stop the loop without exiting vscode.

• OS and Version:
  openSuse tumbleweed 20181110
  openSuse leap 15.0

• VS Code Version:
  1.28
  1.29

• C/C++ Extension Version:
  0.20.1 and 0.20.0 with vscode v1.28
  0.20.1 with vscode v1.29

• Other extensions you installed (and if the issue persists after disabling them):
  On my development machine (tumbleweed) I uninstalled all the extensions and installed C++ extension again after the problem emerged. Then deleted everything which had to do with vscode installation and install vscode 1.29 with only C++ extension again.
  Then I installed vscode 1.29 and only C++ on another machine (leap) with no prior vscode installation and C++ extension.
  In booth cases the result is that debugger gets into a never ending loop with the difference, as mentioned above, that the debugger controller bar shows with above mentioned restrictions.

• A clear and concise description of what the bug is.
  C++ debugger gets in to a never ending loop.

To Reproduce
Please include a code sample and launch.json configuration.
with any code as simple as the following which I tried just to make sure the problem is not due to the code I am working on:

int main() {
const int bufsize = 100;
char* buf[bufsize];
char cp[] = "Howdy";
char* p = cp;
}
