If you have a good idea where the bug is, you can make your program
skip steps and get to the problem faster.

Not really. There have been several projects (the technique is
called checkpointing), but you'll probably find your bug faster
by repeated runs than it will take you to correctly set up one of
these projects (assuming you don't need to wait longer then a day
for the bug to show up).

It's possible; just not practical.
