30/1/2004: In R-1.8.1, 'object.size' gives an error on certain types of object (e.g. 'externalptr'). Code of 'print.if.small' adjusted to cope.

3/2/2004: getOption( "debug.command.recall") now defaults to FALSE if 'savehistory' would give an error (as it will under ESS, for example), or TRUE otherwise; used to default to TRUE always.

4/2/2004: minor changes to documentation in 'README.debug', mainly to do with ESS.

16/2/2005: added support for 'local.on.exit' to match 'mvbutils'

  Fixed obscure bug to do with missing-mode objects in 'move.to.next.expr'
  
  Fixed buggy display of long subscript-replacement expressions
  
  Fixed bugs with 'skip'ping into exit code
  
  NAMESPACEd it-- with difficulty, owing to the unusual nature of 'debug'.
