Subject: ruby debug-options?

Greetings,

I'm trying to use the ruby debugger, as in...

ruby -r debug [debug-options] [programfile] [program-arguments]

.. as described in Pick Axe.

I'm having some troubles, my script makes use of the Rails ActiveRecord 
class (outside of Rails framework): and ActiveRecord apparently attempts 
to clone FixNum objects when doing inserts.  This causes a TypeError 
exception which AR handles and goes about it's business.  Ruby debug 
reports this Exception and I "c"ontinue.

However, this error is driving me nuts in that it occurs about 50 times 
and I can't find a way to suppress it.

I'd like to set some breakpoints and not worry about any Exceptions raised.

Is this possible?

I was hoping the "[debug-options]" would offer some hope for relief, 
however I can not find any documentation of them.  Other than this 
reference to them within the Pick Axe.
