Good point Jim. I'll take a look at that. The only thing I noticed in
that function is that best_index always returns -1 when I try to set a
breakpoint by line number in that function. I'm going deeper into that
now.

One point I forgot to mention and I think it's relevant is that when I
load the binary with option '-readnow', that breakpoint by line number
in the function works.
