In such a case you could help the debugger a bit by placing a 
"sleep(10000)" in the constructor (or another convenient place) of your 
filter. This gives you plenty of time to press Ctrl-C. In the debugger 
you can then set all the breakpoints you want. With "continue" your 
program will continue after the sleep.

The disadvantage is that you have to remove the sleep if you want to 
use the stuff without debugger.
