Is that because GDB cannot run the debuggee from breakpoint commands?

If so, I suggested patches to allow that (a long time ago).  Michael 
Snyder asked for lots of testing before it could be accepted, so it got 
buried under the backlog.

Maybe we should revive that again.  I still have the patches, although by 
now they must have suffered from some bitrot.  But it shouldn't be hard 
to retrofit them, since the changes were quite simple (in a nutshell, GDB 
uses a bunch of static variables to control the debuggee, and running the 
inferior from a breakpoint command overwrites some of these variables).
