Subject: Re: breaktable checks in dbLexRoutines.c in 3.14.9

I propose to apply the following change in base/src/dbStaticLib which permits non-monotonic breakpoint tables to be loaded after the variable dbBptNotMonotonic has been explicitly set to a non-zero value. If you're using iocsh you will also need to add the variable declaration to the base/src/misc/base.dbd file to be able to set it in an st.cmd file. I hope this is an acceptable solution.
