Debugger forgetting soft breakpoints

[Ben Rubinstein]

FWIW the script I was playing with last night wasn't using any externals.  So 
I'm not sure that's always implicated.

Of course almost everything I write does that. I like your idea of double soft points. It's also not that much trouble to just type BREAKPOINT on some line above where I want to break.
