David,
Unfortunately, your situation is the same as mine. In fact, if you set
the no_block keyword in their
test code, the breakpoint does work, and I almost always set it in my
programs. At least they are aware
of some issues related to setting breakpoints, but I can't find a
repeatable pattern when I have problems.
