Are you using the "send" command instead of just calling handlers 
directly? Those won't break unless you put a breakpoint into the handler 
you're sending to. But in general you shouldn't need to use "send" for 
most things. Too many "send" commands in a row can set up a chain 
reaction and pending messages will run out of control.

I've never heard of a problem like this, so it's hard to diagnose. If 
you post the part of your script where it goes off track maybe we'll see 
something.
