So, I'm trying to debug a program where static data gets smashed... so of
course I think "I'll use a watchpoint". Unfortunately, the program can't
be run that way; every time I tell it to continue, it goes into a STOP state
almost immediately. If I send it a sigcont, it continues... briefly. Then
it stops again. The watchpoint isn't getting hit.
Do watches work on 1.6 on i386?
