Hi Pedro,
I duplicated your test case, and found that I could
reproduce the behavior that you show below, but only
so long as the branch did not contain your
"adjust_pc_after_break" patch.
Once I added that patch to the branch, this behavior
seemed to go away.
If I look carefully at what you did below, it seems like
the forward-replay problem only shows up immediately after
the reverse-replay problem manifests. And my experiments
reflect the same thing.
The branch is now patched. Could you spare a moment to
play with it, and see if you can make it break again?
Thanks!
