[R] browser/debug and for loop

Dear R-Users,

It seems like once one invokes browser() inside a loop and steps through the
body using 'n' any subsequent loop will be "intercepted" by debug()
function. Here is exactly what I mean

# fresh R session
# run a loop that has browser() inside the body
> for (i in seq(5)) { browser(); print(i) }
for (i in seq(5)) { browser(); print(i) }
Called from: NULL
Browse[1]> n
n
debug: print(i)
Browse[1]> Q
Q

#  remove browser(), debug() is still there
> for (i in seq(5)) { print(i) }
for (i in seq(5)) { print(i) }
debug: i
Browse[1]> Q
Q

My guess is that when I was stepping through some function got flagged for
debugging. I tried to undebug "for", but that didn't work.

This is R.1.5.0 on RedHat Linux 7.1

Any suggestion will be appreciated.

Thanks, Vadim

P.S. I thought it might be useful to have a function that lists all
functions currently flagged for debugging.
