Good.  If the problem still happens, I want disassembly of
where it doesn't work.

I couldn't think of a use-case where one would need even half of them.

What for you would need that many *active* breakpoints?

Just managing that large number of them is pain, listing
them would take many screens of output...

I typically use each breakpoint only once so I use ":once"
option for them, and I script debugging session with chained
breakpoints so that one breakpoint enables tracing of certain
things and next one disables them etc.
