Failed opens no longer leak debugger sessions, a timed-out command on a dump gets cancelled instead of wedging the session, and completion markers are unique per session. Plus what I learned measuring six community pull requests against a real debugger.

A quick follow-up to 1.3.1: open kernel crash dumps with open_kd_dump, and load your debugger extensions automatically with init commands.

Break-in while a command runs, partial output on timeouts, and a debugger that exits is reported right away. Three of the four fixes came from the community.
