Thanks for your feedback.

I now have the impressions that the b compile breaks actually work, they just stop at the point of compilation (sic) not execution.

I can actually see that postponed breaks are translated to breaks listed with 'L', at least when giving full qualified subnames. They are just not breaking ...

What's making it weirder is that those commands seem to interfere with each other, so I should better untangle the test cases...
