gdborig.exe has stopped working trying to attach to Javaw from eclipse

I would like to use eclipse to debug the C code of a JNI aplication I am writing. I have followed some tutorial and done the following:

Launch the Java program in debug mode
Reach a breakpoint in Java code before calling loadLibrary()
Run the "C/C++ attach to application" debug configuration in Eclipse by passing javaw.exe as a program to attach to

At this point I get an error window "gdborig.exe has stopped working" and the following output in the console:
