Test program / logs.

Hi,

Using kepler, latest open-source agent and the following Linux binary.

I launch the executable. I'm stopped in _start, resume again, I'm stopped in main, resume again I'm stopped in main and again and again.

Looks like the internal breakpoint set by agent to stop in main is not removed when hit.

It is unwanted side effect of skipping function prologue in "main". I have changed the logic: instead of relocating breakpoint, the agent now uses stepping to skip prologue.
Fixed.
Thanks!
