advertise Fxn called twice - why?

In the driver_init routine, I register the driver like this

mydriver_init (void *dll_hdl, dispatch_t *dpp, io_net_self_t *ion, char
*options)
{
ion->reg (dll_hdl, entry, reg_hdl, cell, lan);
advertise (reg_hdl, ,);
}

  1. In the above, my advertise fxn gets invoked twice. I don’t understand
    why?
  2. I debug the driver using gdb.

/sbin/gdb/
(gdb) run

(gdb)set solib-search-path /mydirectory/devn-mydriver.so
(gdb)set auto-solib-add 1
(gdb)c
In another shell, I do
mount -Tio-net -oif=en0:11.2 /lib/dll/npm-ttcpip.so
mount -Tio-net /mydirectory/devn-mydriver.so

If I press Ctl C, in the gdb, i am unable to press any key in the keyboard
till i close the shell where i run gdb.
Why it happens so? what shd i do to avoid this?
