[Gems-users] continuing execution in opal after a magic instruction

I am currently trying to launch some small test programs in simics to  
figure out the magic instruction usage.  However I seem to be having  
a problem with getting multiple instructions to run.   I have a  
simple program of the following structure
main
{
	Setup()
	MagicBreak
	DoWork()
	MagicBreak
}

I ran it in simics (without gems loaded) till the first magic  
breakpoint and set a checkpoint, so I can load where I want it to be  
in gems.   My problem is when I load the configuration and try to run  
it in ruby/opal, here is the output I'm getting:
simics> opal0.sim-start "results.opal"
[0]     PC 0x10578      NPC 0x1057c     ctx 0x264
simics> opal0.sim-step 1000000000
patch  PC: 0x1057c 0x10578
patch  NPC: 0x10580 0x1057c
simulate: completed 1 instructions, cycle: 860

It appears that the break happened right before the magic  
instruction, so it only runs a single instruction, which obviously  
doesn't give me the results I want.   I was wondering if there was  
any way to continue execution after this point.   Hitting c just runs  
it in standard simics mode.   I've checked the website and can't find  
any mention of how to continue the execution of a halted program.
thanks,
Phil
