I've been trying out reverse-next with UndoDB as a remote debug server,
and it looks like reverse-next works by doing repeated
`bs' (reverse-stepi) commands.

I was expecting it to set breakpoints and do `bc' (reverse-continue)
commands, by analogy with normal forwards step etc.

Am i doing something wrong here ? Or is this the expected behaviour ?

Short answer: this is expected behavior.

Forward-next works the same way, in general.
Both forward-next and reverse-next will set breakpoints
under some circumstances, but will often work by
singlestepping.
