I now see it almost every time I start an Image in which there was a running WASstAdaptor before the image got saved.
VAST 8.5 on Win 7, Win XP SP3 and ubuntu 11.10.
A second or two after the image opened, the debugger pops up. You can terminate the process without any problems and continue to work.
