I see.
I make a patch for it.

2008-10-21  Hui Zhu  <teawater@gmail.com>

	* record.c (record_wait): Check breakpint before forward
	execute in replay mode.
	Check breakpoint use function "breakpoint_inserted_here_p"
	in replay mode.
	Set pc if forward execute, gdbarch_decr_pc_after_break is not
	0 and this is not single step in replay mode.

Thanks,
Hui
