Node v11 and v12 --debug-brk doesn't work

[jaslo]

With Node v0.11.x and Node v12 using node-debug or node-inspector as a separate process, --debug-brk doesn't break before the first statement, it starts running the node process immediately.

Got the same issue, for me, it seems that the breakpoint works until the node-inspector GUI is opened. Once the GUI is opened, the code is automatically continued.
My environment:
Node.js 0.12.0, node-inspector 0.8.3, CentOS 6.5 x64, browser is chromium 40 x64.

I think this might be a change in node causing the problem. "node debug [script]" works OK with a REPL.
