Same here.  The defalias should not be making a difference.

I'm having a really hard time debugging this with Edebug.  After I
instrument the function (cperl-font-lock-fontify-region-function), the
debugger is still not invoked when the function is entered.  If I add an
explicit call to (edebug), it breaks correctly, but when I try to step
past it, the debugger just exits, and the function resumes.

Anyone have a suggestion?
