No, I think we were stopped by both of them.  They both watch the same
address, so they both fired when the location gets written.

And indeed we do announce both watchpoints today, right?

But what about the commands associated with that breakpoint?  We've
reached the address and stopped, allright, but we didn't run the
commands the user wanted us to, did we?
