What would the other way be?  I'm aware the way I've done it is
convoluted, and obviously it would be neater and simpler to just
check at the top of enable_break, but I don't know how you would
locate the objfile (unless there another way of locating probes
that doesn't require that?)  I guess my thinking was that there
is all this code in enable_break for dealing with all kinds of
different platforms---and that obviously works---and I wanted to
take advantage of that.

Cheers,
