No response for 'evaluate' request when program is running

[isidorn]

Steps to Reproduce:

var t = 5;
debugger;

1. Once you hit the breakpoint add t to a watch expression -> it is nicely evaluated
2. Continue the program -> notice how t does not update to not available. This is due to the fact that evalute request is not sending a response
3. I would expect the evalute to always give a response no matter the state of the program

@isidorn with "hit breakpoint" you mean "stopping on the debugger statement", right?

If I press continue, the program comes to an end (but does not correctly terminate because of this long standing node issue) and the watch expression runs into a timeout after 10 seconds (which is the correct behaviour).

If I modify the program by adding some "waiting code" at the end, the "continue" triggers the watch expression which results in an expected "not available" error.
