Actually the function is (or better should be)
executed/called when the pan frame gets an enter event. For
some reason this event is produced several times if a
complex function is bound to an edge. For example:

   EdgeCommand N Echo EdgeCommandNorth

works as expected while

   AddToFunc EchoFunc I Echo EdgeCommandNorthFunc
   EdgeCommand N EchoFunc

shows the behaviour you describe. This is actually a bug. I
hope we get this fixed soon.

Cheers, Uwe
