What I have noticed is the debugger getting confused with reentrant routines.
If I am on a statement within proc A, that calls routine B, which happens to
call proc A, the debugger's next step is the next line in proc A (The statement
following the call to proc B.), but it is the second instance of the call
that is now being traced.

I suppose that it would be difficult for the debugger to determine that this 
set of events have taken place. But it is confusing because there's no obvious 
indication that you are now tracing through another (the second) instance of 
the routine.

Know whadda mean?
