At least since years it doesn't, so that I thought it was a feature : "`step', `next' and `finish' are not allowed in breakpoints command lists". What is perhaps new is the test, so I noticed that it was expected to work and I tried to find out why it did not work. Of course, I feel the same concerns about the reasons of the code I turned off, but I ran the whole testsuite on both m68k-motorola-sysv and powerpc-ibm-aix4.1.5.0 without new failures, so I think it is a safe change.
