BTW, long term, this stuff is going to be hijacked by other *point 
mechanisms.  Variable watchpoints, for instance, will be given a similar 
projection (the watchpoint changes that last year stalled can probably 
be picked up again).  While the term "breakpoint" may continue to be 
used, it will be applied to more than just breakpoints.

(Happened to talk to fernado about his uni GDB work and he explained 
that that the logical/physical separation occures all over the place - 
happened to also use log/phys without my prompting :-).
