I was encountering it on a regular basis. However, I often debug in
the Emacs Erlang shell node and not in a separate Erlang node so maybe
that might be a factor.

How would my new patch break multiple module debugging? If all modules
are running in the same node, it should have no impact at all. Did you
mean "across multiple *nodes*"? If so, then yes my patch would reset
the distel interpreted status every time you switched nodes. However,
the break points that are set in the node would still exist. When you
switch from one node to another, you would need to toggle on
interpreted status for a buffer. I just tried this with two separate
nodes (with different breakpoints set in each node) and it seemed to
work ok for me. Could you test it and see whether it works for you and
let me know whether you encounter any problems.
