Nice finding. The basisActiveProcess patch catches this, but we still get a BlockCannotReturn there. I guess this has the same reason as http://forum.world.st/BUG-REGRESSION-while-debugging-Generator-gt-gt-nextPut-td5108125.html#a5109109 ...

Oh, my 4.5 images open only one debugger for findContextSuchThat:.
That is, one debugger per further click on "Over".
