Daniel, I've installed the libs and have two separate traces here; where would 
be the best place for me to put them so you can see them?  Should I open a 
ticket in BZ?

Did this today as well.  Turned the debugger on, waited for it to pause/stall 
in the UI, then waited for the next item to appear in the debugger and then 
turned it off right away.  There's a FETCH, it pauses, and then there's a 
second FETCH that occurs right after the UI comes back.  If you'd like I can 
capture this to and send it along with the traces if that's useful/helpful.

Appreciate your time,
