Hello Managers,

I got an answer from Randall Cable, who let me know that there's nothing
wrong. Here is his reply:

All indications that this message is harmless:

gets that msg in /usr/var/adm/message
        vmunix: install_bp: can't install multiple breakpoints!!

This message is output by the kernel on behalf of LADEBUG. It means
that more than two breakpoints have been, or are about to be installed,
where the limit is two breakpoints in a single step operation. It seems
breakpoints are not being removed.

this msg was printed by /kernel/arch/alpha/trap.c.
It just looks like the kernel is trying to set breakpoints for some
inexplicable reason.
