Use 'catch off'

Do you mean start again from the top? No way that I know of, and
considering the effort it'll take to bring everything to the state it
was before the program started (class definitions, redefinitions,
globals, threads etc) I doubt it's any better than just restarting the
debugger and setting a breakpoint.

BTW, I find unit-tests plus the occasional application of breakpoint
(http://ruby-breakpoint.rubyforge.org, available as a gem) much better
than traditional debugging, both immediately and in the long run.
