Same problems with the debugger on Windows 2k and XP (home and prof):
1) Revolution seems to freeze when debugging large scrits (say > 2000 
lines) operating on large stacks; it doesn't actually freeze, it just 
became very, very slow
2) "step over" actually step into user-defined commands and function most 
of the times, very annoying
That's on 2.0.1 professional.
A good debugger is a priority for a professional scripting environment.
