From time-to-time I get this when a breakpoint is triggered. It looks like stack frames aren't getting saved so I can't step back through the call stack - a real pain. See below for an example

--> #0 BatchProcess.add_failure_record(row_id#Fixnum, test#Struct::Test, message#String,...) 
       at line server/processes/batch.rb:309
Warning: saved frames may be incomplete; compare with caller(0).

Any ideas on how to stop this happening?
