emacs -Q

M-x gdb RET /bin/ls RET
r

the program finishes, the output is shown, but the "(gdb)" prompt is not
shown anymore in the *gud-ls* buffer and "top" shows that emacs is
taking a lot of CPU time.

In Emacs 24, I don't get any *gud-ls* buffer -- just a *gud* buffer, and
"top" doesn't show anything in particular.

I do get the message

Buffer "*input/output of *" has a running process; kill it? (y or n)  y

but I don't know how meaningful it is to run /bin/ls as the debugger.

Are you still seeing this bug in Emacs 24?
