If you search for 0x6730629 and 0x67306fc entries in the $SPECROOT/SS/CsVendor/SDN/EventDisp file, you will find duplicated entries:

 Line 1017: "regexp ( {v 208} , {S \"V6\"} )" , "0x6730629  -:-", \
 Line 1063: 0x6730629 R CA.EventCondition, \
 Line 1275: 0x6730629 E 0

 Line 1016: "regexp ( {v 208} , {S \"V5\"} )" , "0x67306fc  -:-", \
 Line 1020: 0x67306fc R CA.EventCondition, \
 Line 1445: 0x67306fc E 0
