Actually, I was not suggesting this at all. But now that you mention
it, there is already a BUG() macro that inserts a a two byte u2DA
instruction instead of a one byte CC (int3) breakpoint instruction
that would be a good candidate for setting int3 breakpoints since the
code is already there and its a macro change build option.
