I tried the snapshot feature in 6.8 and it was a big letdown. After switching to the forked process, it mostly crashed. Never got it working.

You're thinking of checkpoint/restart. This is completely different.
The present "reverse debugging" feature set allows you to do reverse-step, reverse-next, reverse-continue etc., running backward to any breakpoint or watchpoint, or just stepping backward by a single instruction if you choose. You're not restricted to stopping only at previously designated checkpoints.

We had this in a commercial compiler ($100K plus for reverse capability) in PL/I, Fortran, and COBOL back in 1994 on IBM ES-9000... It was insanely awesome for debugging code written by your grandfather :-)
