I've got no objection. Mark asked you to test software single step and
non-decr-pc-after-break; I agree with you that the patch can't have any
effect if either of those is the case (see the context). So I think
this is OK. Mark?
I was worried about the case when the thread previously being stepped
is not the event thread. But it seems to be OK and there are some
problems there already (we don't keep track of whether the single-step
succeeded or not in some cases, for instance).
