+Summary: Variables are "overwritten" with the contents of others
+
+the attached test shows it.  if you step from the assignment of xml_test to
+the assignment of string_test and do "show locals", you'll see:
+
+
+Process @3 stopped at #0: 0xb768f434 in
+MainClass.Main(System.String[])+0x44 at
+/home/toshok/src/debugger-tests/VisualizerTest.cs:9.
+   9            string string_test = "Hello World!";
+(mdb) show locals
+html_test = (System.String) "<xml><prop/> <prop2><subprop/></prop2></xml>"
+xml_test = (System.String) "<xml><prop/> <prop2><subprop/></prop2></xml>"
+string_test = (System.String) <cannot display object>
+
+Either html_test should retain it's value, or it should be removed from the
+list of locals (if the jit has deemed it no longer in scope.)
+
+This is probably happening because the debugger assumes that if a variable
+is not in a nested block (i.e. if it's at the toplevel for a method), it is
+live for the entire method.
