Nancy,
if program is more sophisticated, it returns some other perivously
executed program line.

It seems that returned line is selected randomly, I cannot see
any reason why this line is returned.

I want to use this information for debugging, because
line numbers are changing when I modify my program after
releasing an exe file.
