Sorry I took a little while to reply.  The tarballs should be
generated daily, though the Vim+ECL tarball is from the 13 - perhaps
they only get updated if changes have been checked in.  I have posted
a few recent Vim+ECL patches that have not yet been rolled into the
main tree (Larry has been very busy lately), for right now you will
need to look at the changelog thread and apply my patches.  They are
Darcs format patches (basically diff + some more info), so you may
need to use Darcs to install the patches.

This is quite odd to me - the debugger has been working for quite some
time now I think.  What (if any) output do you see when your code
executes (BREAK)?
