Step over still not fixed in 2.02

That was me, actually. I haven't reported it because it seems to be totally
unpredictable, and I wanted to have a good recipe for repeating it before I
reported. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't, sometimes it steps over
evertyhing except this one recursive funtion, sometimes it doesn't step over
anything.

So - nothing useful to report beyond the debugger is broken.

Which I have reported.
