the small partitions are for swap/VM. 32-bit system has limit of 4GiB swap
chunks, but you can have lots of them.
something critical to reproducing this problem MIGHT be:
- the slowness of my machine. Pentium 4 HT 2.8GHz (1 core 2 thread). it's
equivalent to today's cheapest $300 laptop. really bad. I am used to it,
but sometimes it seems really slow.
- my platform or OS. I have XP Pro SP3 32-bit
I would ask that you please try doing your testing on a really slow box
like an old P4 xp machine. you might be able to repro the results. I have
had similar troubles with fb before on this platform. this is all I have
right now for a platform. I can also try on a windows 8 p4 box.
test case:
1.write a program with a forever while loop like
while(true){if(true){continue;}} and use the browser to stop the code, then
try to insert a breakpoint into the code. there should be some level of
success. my code is much bigger and not as brainless, but has a similar
problem.
2.turn on debugger
3.enable all panels
4.reload
5.hope you can break. only way to break is to tell browser to stop the
script.
expected:
maybe some way to break the program with the debugger with fb button. if
not, still can do this with the browser.
in fact,there's no break/halt or stop(reset) buttons! (nearly every
debugger has at least one)
actual:
no stop(reset), break/halt button. at least 2 would be useful, such as
break and stop(reset).
break would halt the current program in its tracks but keep the program
counter, while reset would reset everything to starting conditions. those
two would be very valuable.
