"The next line of code" is a very iffy concept.  GDB doesn't analyze a
line to figure out what it does, or where it might transfer control

debugging.  So the only way we have to implement next is to step and
see where we end up - and if we don't like it, go until we're somewhere
else.

I guess I wasn't really asking a question - I was just confused by the way it was implemented since it wasn't what I had expected. Anyhow, thanks for clearing that up.
