Thanks, but not as long as the debugger freezes the program it attaches 
to.

Interesting. That does sound very similar to what I wanted, so it's kind 
of a shame that I didn't find it. If anything, it seems that PDM is a bit 
more flexible in that it can handle limited references to remote 
objects, event notifications from the server to the client, and has better 
support for handling both TCP and Unix sockets (the rconsole script, for 
instance, seems to lack support for connecting to Unix sockets), so I 
guess my time wasn't wasted.
