I wonder if the patent office can be sued for the costs of defending prior art ?
 There were widely available tools in the 80's that had all of the claims as part of the
 implementation. SWI was implemented on 8 bit processors in the 70's for the purpose of breaks and debugging.

Anyone needs prior art on this one Byte Crafts historical products department should be able to help.
