Buggy debugger -- solved?

Hi Mark,

I guess I submitted BZ report #3086, on 8-26-2005. I think I've 
upgraded to 2.6.1 since then. I originally isolated the problem in 
2.5. It does seem to resemble bug 329, doesn't it?

Maybe Rev should consider putting up a "workaround page" for issues 
like this, when workarounds are available, pending bug fixes. (A wiki 
would serve the same purpose, of course. Maybe that's gonna happen.)


Cheers,


Tim
