I would definitely agree with Jesper that the current version needs changing. However, I don't know technically whether it means:
a) you will need an external debugger to get this information
b) this information will be available in the log (etc) and ALSO via an external debugger

We can argue the exact wording (using "when" is probably better, I agree), but the current text is just not proper english.
