Execution of commands of a breakpoint at the target location is sure a bug,
I did not realize it.  Thanks for finding it.

I was now looking how to suppress them but I do not think there is an easy
soltuion.  So I think your previous code without resume+wait during goto was
better and the changes should be reverted.

It will hopefully also fix the multi-threading bug above I have not
investigated.

Could you do a hopefully final v8 post?


Thanks,
Jan
