Yes. Start by checking the email archives for previous discussions of this
issue. Sounds to me like you have half the real solution already (gdb
sources, presumably from CVS). Grab the latest Cygwin DLL snapshot and
you're done. Otherwise, live with typing "c <return>" as many times as
necessary until you're by the problem.
In case it's not clear from the above, this has been talked to death on this
list so if you have any thoughts about re-opening this subject for discussion,
you better wear your flame-resistant suit!
