Subject: Emacs support in debugger

Hi there, I was trying to run the debugger in XEmacs on Windows XP
(SP2) and it wasn't behaving as I expected.

To make a long story short, the problem is buffering.  I noticed that
irb/init.rb explicitly does:

STDOUT.sync=true

very early on, and so it works fine, but the debugger never seemed to
return anything.  Sure enough, when I did set sync to true, everything
worked as I expected.

Is this an oversight, or is there something wrong with my setup, or
what?

Also, I noticed that the debugger intentionally prints two octal 32
chars at the beginning of a line.  I'm not sure why this is, but it
sure makes the output look funny in the debug buffer :)  I'm guessing
this is some kind of comint magic thing that works differently between
unix and windows?

Thanks,

Hunter
