Ok, here's a tested patch for the debugger problem.
I was missing the fact that DB::dbline magic is actually
uppercase (which means hv_store_ent() etc., will pass SV keys
to the vtbl_dbline handlers).

(C<sv_setiv>) instead of floats. It also eliminates a warning from
C< local($)) >, via a hack similar to $!.
