That was required for compatibility with adb(1). :bfoo means breakpoint at foo because adb's "parser" only looked at one character after the colon. Use ::bp with mdb and you'll get sensible behavior. I can't change the behavior of :b because it would break legacy scripts. -Mike -- Mike Shapiro, Solaris Kernel Development. blogs.sun.com/mws/
