Hi!

A long time ago, [this ruby-core change](https://github.com/ruby/ruby/commit/1998039ea4f867583d7e37ce200a88490707c330) broke a test in byebug related to post-mortem debugging. See https://github.com/deivid-rodriguez/byebug/issues/165.

The problem is that after the mentioned commit, the TracePoint API raises two `:trace` events when an exception happens during a `load` call. As a result, byebug ends up using the second `:raise` event, and that means post-mortem debugging leaves the user in an incorrect place.

I managed to workaround the issue inside byebug with https://github.com/deivid-rodriguez/byebug/pull/562, but I thought it would be worth mentioning here since it seems like incorrect behavior to me.

For what it's worth, reverting the referenced commit fixes the issue. I attach a patch doing that together with a test.
