I am not sure I understand your question.

   Do you ask if someone else saw this unwanted 'Hardware watchpoint : ....'
messages. I don't know, nobody explicitly did respond to the messages
by saying that this is indeed the case, but the way to reproduce them
is quite straight forward:

   Compile gdb 5.1 from FSF sources,
run
   ./gdb ./gdb 
from the build/gdb dir.
add a hardware watchpoint at gdb_stdlog for instance with
'top-gdb>watch gdb_stdlog'
and run simply with
'run'

This gave me several print out of  the 'Hardware watchpoint'
besides the correct one.
(Probably one for each shared lib loaded,
but I didn't check this).

  Andrew acknowledged that this was a separate problem in
