.trace not working? [message #67607]

Environment IDL 7.0 (and 7.1) on fedora 10 (and fedora 11), 32 bit version

Imagine, if you will, a simple .pro file such as the following (never
mind that this doesn't really do anything)...

pro test1
x = randomn(seed1, 16)
y = randomn(seed2, 16)
plot, x, y
end

Now imagine that you fire up IDL and type the following commands at the
IDL> prompt

breakpoint,"test1.pro",2
test1

and further, attempt to stretch you imagination to the point that, when
you get to the IDL prompt as a result of the breakpoint, you type

.trace

You, of course, type that particular command because the documentation
says, and I quote,

.TRACE - Similar to .CONTINUE, but displays each line of code
before execution.

but when you hit the return key at the end of .trace, you see no
additional outputting of code prior to executing each line of code.

Where have you gone wrong???
