Another workaround is to increase the height of the terminal. :-)

I don't think this is a good idea.  The pager is useful if you output a
longer disassembly listing.

This happens because the function is only defined in a shared library,

feature of pending breakpoints, but unfortunately they are only enabled
when setting a breakpoint interactively.
