 When I set a break point (in main say) I stop there when I run
 the function, but if I run the function again the break point is
 ignored. Restarting ghci and resetting the break point makes it
 effective again, but this seems strange. Is this a bug or a feature?

 Also, when I run :trace after stopping at a break point, the remainder of
 the function is run, and :back complains that I cannot go backwards
 because I am not at a break point.

 Thanks,
 Dominick
