Debugger Problems

Hello list,

A few problems with the debugger using the 1.8 preview2.

First, a object that is displayed properly using: p objectName is not displayed the same way when using the display feature. Using display, the object address is displayed. For the object in question, ObjectName#to_s also displays the object address. This is undesirable behavior (unless there is a magic command to use with display that I am unaware of).

Second, frequently the “finish” command does not work. I believe this may only happen during object initialization, but I’m not certain.

Lastly, frequently the debugger does not stop at a breakpoint.
