Subject:	BUG in CYGWIN's implementation of GDB?

I think I've encountered a bug in GDB.

Although "help run" says the following:

> (gdb) help run
> Start debugged program.  You may specify arguments to give it.
> Args may include "*", or "[...]"; they are expanded using "sh".
> Input and output redirection with ">", "<", or ">>" are also allowed.

if  you say:

    (gdb) r < eg/10.gtl

then the following is true:

    argv[1] = '<'
    argv[2] = 'eg/10.gtl'

and naturally, stdin is ... well, stdin.

This is not the behaviour on my linux system at home and is - AFAICT - wrong.

On the graphical version of GDB, I see no menu item for setting the runtime
arguments at all, but I only studied it for 10 minutes or so.
