More debuggerbears

[Edwin Gore]

Okay...

I've reported this to the bug-DB - it happens on my XP Home machine, at
well, home.

This really does make the debugger just about useless.

Is no one else having this problem?

do transformations on data based on iterating through a fairly large table
of data once for each characters in a variable (which can be 20 or more
characters in length), the debugger nearly useless if it decides, for
whatever reason, to do a Step Into instead of a Step Over. I know this
function works perfectly, I don't want to have to sit and watch it step
through for 10 minutes before getting back to the script which called it -
which I am VERY interested in debugging.
