Pedro pointed out that 'stop' runs too early -- it makes "cond" not work
on a dprintf.  (BTW if there is no test for this, there should be... )

But, why not just do the work just after the condition is evaluated?
For example, it could be done with special handling in
bpstat_check_breakpoint_conditions, or by introducing a new
check_condition breakpoint_ops method, with the dprintf method calling
the super method before proceeding to "printf" and then returning 0.

I tend to think that the "commands" approach is just not a good one.
