I've good news and bad news :)

The good news is that I can reproduce it and that I know exactly where
the problem is. The bad news is that fixing this is not very easy and
would probably mean that i've remove some code. Noe, fortunately I think
that this code is not really useful anymore and doesn't serve any
purpose but it'd require quite a bit of testing.

I committed the patch, and that should make it in the releases at
http://pecl4win.php.net/ext.php/php_xdebug.dll soon. Grab a .dll dated
atleast on May 16th and it should work (fingers crossed).

No, thank *you* for the CD, DVD and books. I really apreciate this!
