Alright, this feels a lot better.

After further investigation, I learned that Thread::GetStopInfo() only gets the 
stop info from completed thread plans that aren't marked private.  Looking 
around at some examples in the code, it seemed that the thread plans involved 
in the expression evaluation should have been marked private, at least before 
the Process object started executing them.  I verified that 
Process::RunThreadPlan was saving and restoring the ThreadPlan's 'private' 
state correctly but that my ThreadPlanRunFunction was entering with 'private' 
set to false.

I was able to track this thread plan back to InferiorCallMmap in 
InferiorCallPOSIX.cpp.  I'm guessing that Mac OS X doesn't use that for 
whatever reason.

The attached patch fixes the problem I was investigating and it seems like a 
reasonable change.  Can you review this, Jim?

Thanks,
Andy

I don't see this fail, even for function calls:

The call to printf definitely ran code in the target, and yet continue pushed 
the "step over breakpoint" plan rather than stopping with another breakpoint 
hit (which is what I presume you are seeing?)
