    I've had no problem stepping into DLLs when the DLLs are built with
    debug information.  When DLLs do not contain debug information,
    source line stepping will not step into them, unless the stepping is
    done from the disassembly window.
    This is the designed behavior, and is the same on Intel and Alpha.
    
    If you have verified the DLL that is being called is the debug version,
    than it is a new problem.  When you have both retail and debug dlls
    being built at the same time, it is tricky to change path and lib so
    that you pick up the intended dll.  Your customer might want to
    consider appending a D after the debug libraries, so that they can
    coexist with the retail libraries and DLLs, and so the debug window
    can be used to verify which dll was actually loaded.
