Summary: Cannot step in debugger if line # doesn't change

Initial Comment:
The debugger trace function is not called with a line
event if the line number executed doesn't change.  This
happens when an infinite looop containing a single line
is executed, such as:

while 1:
     print 1

A slightly more realistic example would be something
like the following:

        items = range(0, 10)
        try:
                i = 0
                while 1:
                        print items[i]; i += 1
        except IndexError:
                pass
