Is this latest (v2) fix from Anthony useful enough to incorporate for 
now (for people to use and test), even though there are still a couple 
more things which need to be fixed?  It does fix some significant 
problems, and it doesn't look like it introduces any new problems, at 
least.

These are the problems which still need to be fixed, as far as I know:
- Allow a process to be debugged without having to suspend it 
explicitly (as Ned describes below)
- Something I noticed: If you enter some code in a workspace and select 
"debug it" (or "do it" with a halt in the code), the debugger loses the 
temporary variable names
