OK.  I can see that in current Gdb the extra address is no longer printed.
I can also see similar problems when two shared objects with the same filename
are loaded.  Gdb doesn't always seem to have a handle on the full path name.

This seems to say that the problem is with how Gdb reads the symbol information
from the file and not how the breakpoint code handles it.

I probably can't be of much help except to say that you could send this last
piece of information to the gdb list which is read by more people.  First though
I would check it hasn't been fixed by current Gdb either using a snapshot or
downloading from CVS.
