Hi Luke,

Kirill sent me an email last night saying that it was the probleme with the 
node name. Once he switched over to using full node names, the debugger 
problems went away. 

However, the patch I sent out does fix the scenario (that I was encountering) 
where you close your erlang shell while debugging and restart it. Previously, 
this would not clear the edb variable and caused a problem in that you weren't 
able to toggle interactivity on/off properly. Probably a good idea to have a 
look at the patch and apply it if it looks ok.

On the subject of patches, what's the standard procedure for submitting patches 
to distel? Should people send you an email or is posting to the list sufficient?

- Bill
