I just reinstalled cygwin from scratch on an NT4 machine, running "setup" at
the command prompt, and downloading everything from the Internet, including
gdb-20000610.tar.gz.

All is installed fine, and runs perfectly, except gdb. This runs fine in an
EMAS window (i.e. in text mode), but if I run "gdb" at a command prompt, I
never get the GUI window, and my machine slows to a crawl with the gdb
process occupying 99% of CPU time until killed.

Sometimes, I get a huge error box, telling me things like:

---------------

Can't find a usable main.tcl in [various directories...]

Can't find combobox 1.0...

Probably means gdb wasn't installed properly.

---------------

Any idea what's wrong?
