worker 1 because it has just been created.
Worker 0 because a break event has been receive from the player (aka our BP has
been met).

******************************************************************
worker 0 is still suspended, we received 3 break events from worker 1 and 1
from worker 0
FDB will then stop 1 more time on this BP, I guess you don't want that at IDE
level
as the user already removed the BP, you may want to check if the current break
is still set in the IDE, if not, just 'continue'
