I meant, "doesn't make sense unless something else is wrong".
Ie., if for instance breakpoint_here_p has NOT failed, then
gdb should have stepped over the breakpoint before continuing.
I wonder why breakpoint_here_p would fail? It's a fairly
simple function, there's only one breakpoint, and it doesn't
fail very commonly (to my knowledge).

Right -- well, if that's the case, then it will still fail
if Bizhan runs the experiment that I suggested, with vCont
out of the picture. We should see gdb issue an ordinary
continue request, without first stepping over the breakpoint.
