Alex,

Actually a number of people have mentioned this problem on this list, 
and several others have also remarked on the fact that the bug had 
been reported.

I guess a lot depends on what kind of scripts one is debugging. If 
there is extensive use of user-defined handlers, it is a nightmare 
trying to wade through a nested set of routines. It is somewhat 
quixotic. Some handlers it will step over and some it will not. Very 
frustrating.

For this reason, I have stuck with 1.1.1, waiting for this fix.
