Yes, 

(tgdb) p breakpoint_chain->next->next->next->next->next->next
$47 = (struct breakpoint *) 0x83b4878
(tgdb) p breakpoint_chain->next->next->next->next->next->next->disposition
$51 = disp_donttouch
(tgdb) p breakpoint_chain->next->next->next->next->next->next->related_breakpoint
$48 = (struct breakpoint *) 0x83b49d0
(tgdb) p breakpoint_chain->next->next->next->next->next->next->related_breakpoint->disposition
$49 = disp_del

I don't know why this seems OK to you. I must be missing something.
breakpoint_chain->next->next->next->next->next->next->related_breakpoint
was a pointer to a breakpoint that was deleted. Thus, the pointer is
invalid. The reference to the deleted breakpoint (related_breakpoint
field) must be set to NULL somehow. 

It seems that whenever a breakpoint is deleted, all other
breakpoints related_breakpoint field needs to be checked, to see if they
pointed to the data that was just deleted.

Please look at the comments at breakpoint.c:6723 and breakpoint.c:1325.
