Well I'm still convinced that the fallback from S/C to s/c is a botch.
It requires global variables "last_sent_signal" and "last_sent_step"
to communicate state between remote_resume() and remote_wait() so that
remote_wait() can pick up the pieces when remote_resume() didn't do
it's job.  Doing the same for the step-over-range command would require 
even more global state.
