[IronPython] Problem stepping into functions in debugger with F11

[Julien Couvreur]

Thanks a lot for the help.

This command-line switch works for me.
There doesn't seem to be any negative side effects of this switch as far as
I can tell, so I'm happy with this solution until v2.0 comes around ;-)

Thanks again,
