IIRC, that's not true: what you call ``the trigger phase'' was watching 
the address of the array, not its contents.  To watch the contents, you 
needed to watch specific array elements.

In other words, "watch my_array" would break when the pointer to 
the first element of my_array[] changed to point to a different memory 
location.  If you want to watch array contents, you need to say
"watch my_array[0]", "watch my_array[1]", etc.

Of course, it's been a while since I looked at that code, so I might be 
mistaken.  If so, could you please tell where's the code in the current 
CVS sources which is watching the entire contents of the array?
