Description

If I set a breakpoint on somefile:1234 in a library that hasn't been loaded yet, say "yes" I do want a pending breakpoint, and then run the recording, my pending breakpoint is never hit (and it should be). If, after having run the recording once, I type in the same breakpoint command it will set a non-pending breakpoint and this will be hit in subsequent replays.

Research direction

Reproduce the report by setting a pending breakpoint on somefile:1234 before recording, then compare it with setting the same breakpoint after the first replay. Trace how pending breakpoints are handled when the library loads and verify that the original breakpoint is hit during subsequent replays.
