Multiple calls to case NOTE_INSN_EPILOGUE_BEG for same function?

[Douglas B Rupp]

I've been working on bringing the VMS patches up to date. The VMS 
Debugger requires a label at end prologue and begin_epilogue, and the 
fact that final_scan_insn makes multiple calls to NOTE_INSN_EPILOGUE_BEG 
for the same function makes this awkward.  I suppose it could be case 
that there are multiple epilogues in a function, but the generated 
assembly code doesn't seem to indicate this.  Below is an excerpt from a 
gdb session, and attached is a file derived from argv.c.

Can someone please explain why this happens and if a bug, please advise 
on how to fix?
