(1) Do you get the same problem with Perl's command-line 
debugger?  Something similar or identical to this was reported recently 
to the Perl 5 Porters.  I don't recall if it's been fixed yet.

(2) If so, can we see some code, provided you can get it below a dozen 
lines or so?  My guess is that this is a bug in the part of Perl 
underlying all those debuggers and if it hasn't been reported yet then 
we should do so.
