Subject: 23.0.60; GUD hangs
Date: Mon, 13 Oct 2008 16:24:04 +1000

I try to debug a program with M-x gdb, like I did in the past, but it
does not seem to work in recent emacsen. gdb starts (in a *gud*
buffer) but does not respond to commands. Even a simple "help" does
not suceed.

Maybe I am doing something wrong (then please correct me), but it does
work fine in emacs 21. I experienced the same behaviour here in an emacs
23.0.60.1 and 22.1.1 (all three versions as shipped in ubuntu hardy)

BTW, this is my first bug report, but it is my second try :
M-x bug-report seems to be address messages by default to
emacs-pretest-bug <at> gnu.org that goes nowhere. But maybe I am perhaps
doing something wrong.

Edit: third try, actually, because this message has just been sent blank 
by emacs. I try again from thunderbird (fortunately I had backuped the 
content of the message this time)
