OK, things have gotten much much worse. I've been studying watchpoints,
and there behavior in GDB. This way, I could understand what the
appropriate MI response should be. I came across this example,

wpscope.c:
   int wpscope ( int param ) {
       return param+1;
   }

   int main(int argc, char **argv){
       return wpscope ( argc );
   }

and ran these commands,

   $ ../gdb ./wpscope
   (gdb) b wpscope
   Breakpoint 1 at 0x8048357: file wpscope.c, line 2.
   (gdb) r
   Starting program: /home/bob/cvs/gdb/original/builddir/gdb/tmp/wpscope

   Breakpoint 1, wpscope (param=1) at wpscope.c:2
   2           return param+1;
   (gdb) watch param
   Hardware watchpoint 2: param
   (gdb) fin
   Run till exit from #0  wpscope (param=1) at wpscope.c:2
   main (argc=1, argv=0xbffffce4) at wpscope.c:7
   7       }
   Value returned is $1 = 2
   (gdb) n
   Hardware watchpoint 2 deleted because the program has left the block
   in which its expression is valid.
   Segmentation fault

The crash only happens sometimes. Although when I run it over and over,
I will eventually get it.

Here is the problem I found,

   (gdb) n
   Hardware watchpoint 2 deleted because the program has left the block
   in which its expression is valid.

So, basically, I can't figure out why the breakpoint field
'related_breakpoint' became in valid. I believe it was valid when the
breakpoint was created, since the memset is there. However, at some
point, it must have become invalid ...

Any help would be appreciated.
