OK, now make it work with the Process Browser :-)

Stepping looks much better; thanks!

However...

You seem to need to suspend a process before debugging it now, for 
some reason (this breaks "debug" from the Process Browser).
In other words, this no longer works:

[ Project uiProcess debug ] fork

You have to do this instead:

[ Project uiProcess suspend; debug ] fork

Or more accurately, you have to check to see if it's suspended first.

In fact, if you open the debugger on a running process you get the 
interesting effect of having the process running at the same time.
