Are you by any chance using tcsh as your shell?

heh... Yes, as a matter of fact. How is that affecting me? I've always
used tcsh and not had these troubles.


Signal handling in tcsh is broken, and one manifestation of
the problem is the behavior you're seeing with gdb. I've
repeatedly asked to have the 6.15.0 version of tcsh backed
out of src/ to the previously working 6.14.0 version, but no
one who can affect such a change seems to think a default user
shell with broken signal handling is a problem. The only
workaround that I've found is "setenv SHELL sh" prior to
executing gdb.

Hmm... yeah.. I found the bug report after you mentioned tcsh. However
changing that var has no effect for me. In fact using sh as my shell
makes no difference either.

Maybe I should rollback my tcsh and see what happens?
