So, I'm trying to debug a program where static data gets smashed... so of
course I think "I'll use a watchpoint".  Unfortunately, the program can't
be run that way; every time I tell it to continue, it goes into a STOP state
almost immediately.  If I send it a sigcont, it continues... briefly.  Then
it stops again.  The watchpoint isn't getting hit.

Do watches work on 1.6 on i386?
