I've experienced this from time to time and it's very frustrating. Have you tried inserting a "breakpoint" command at the start of your function rather than a "red dot" breakpoint?
I've sometimes found that the statement following the breakpoint is somehow syntactically incorrect in a way that isn't caught during compile, which seems to cause LC to just give up. Sorry to be so vague but I can't remember the exact details. On another occasion, I ended up putting a lock messages command in my code (when I was in "try anything" mode) which fixed the problem, but I have no idea why.
