>Exactly - that was my point! That's why I said "alleged". I purposedly used that term because it best depicts what I think of the debugger - it's an observer, supposedly neutral, but there's no such thing as a completely neutral observer. Likewise, I think there's no neutral debugger - software may behave differently because it's being looked at.
Yes, I agree completely.
Difference in opinions hath cost many millions of lives: for instance, whether flesh be bread, or bread be flesh; whether whistling be a vice or a virtue; whether it be better to kiss a post, or throw it into the fire... (from Gulliver's Travels)
