 Do what again?
 
 If this happens in KDevelop, you should report the problem there.
 
 Alternatively, it might work if you get current GDB from sourceware.org as
 GDB used to not include the reason for temporary breakpoints.  This is just
 a guess though, as you haven't explained how you got the message.
 
 As an aside, it's proably best to make an initial report to gdb@sourcware.org
 where there is a wider audience.
