• GC calls finalizer, Sphere unrefs internal pointer, sees refcount = 0 and frees it.  By definition this means JS code no longer has a reference to it so it can't be passed to something else after being freed
• GC calls finalizer, refcount still > 0 after unref so left alone.  Even if the refcounts get out of sync for a split second, everything is still fine in this case.

• Resume, pause, step commands work.
• Source code download works.
• Any uncaught error triggers a breakpoint, although it's a bit glitchy in that the same error will trigger multiple breakpoints depending on how many native calls it hits on the way to the bottom of the stack.  This is a limitation in the way JSAL works so I'm not sure it can be fixed easily.  In any case, it's an uncaught errro so the end result is the same regardless (game crash).
• backtrace sort of works, all calls currently listed as "function".
• eval, examine, and vars commands DON'T work.
• Line-based breakpoints DON'T work.
• SSj Blue is glitchy; among other things, after a breakpoint is hit the wrong line and/or file is highlighted, and it tends to throw a lot of exceptions
