`step'-like commands in breakpoint commands list

Is this patch safe?? What about the comment further down:

	/* The inferior is proceeded by the command; bomb out now.
	   The bpstat chain has been blown away by wait_for_inferior.
	   But since execution has stopped again, there is a new bpstat
	   to look at, so start over.  */

I should also note that due to the recursive implementation of
bpstat_do_actions(), it is probably not a good idea to allow
bpstat_do_action() calls to accumulate on the stack if the inferior
keeps hitting breakpoints that have command lists. Also, when you
request a Quit, then GDB forgets all that breakpoint command list
state, and behaves differently when you continue the inferior.
