For module debugging a very recent mail explained the solution in detail.
For break panic, it never worked for me - the suggestion is to add a pause() 
call in a loop checking a variable, and to change the var only in gdb; since 
such a var would be optimized out, add a global function called nowhere which 
sets that var too (on the list a more involved solution was proposed to stop 
the optimization but this should work).
