Previously when requesting a specific location (e.g. `list 5`) the requested line would be marked.  With the patch applied, `list` will only ever mark the next line up for execution.  This is consistent with the behavior of GDB and PDB (at least).

Thanks for following up on that Chris.  Are there any outstanding changes that need to be made to the PR then, or are we waiting for the CSR process?
