Hi Brad.

I almost exclusively use the telnet interface (and hard breakpoints) to
the bdi b/c I do a lot of early on debug.  I have noticed with certain
processors that a single step will occasionally go several instructions
before stopping.  Unfortunately, I don't remember which processors I see
that on and I've never had a 7447 to try.  What I'm getting at is: a)
yes, I have seen some [minor] breakpoint problems with the bdi (or
possibly the breakpoint implementation on the processor); and b) try
using the telnet interface to eliminate a possible gdb-related problem.

Just my $0.02.

Mark
