All,
      I updated gdb to 7.3.50-2 and I can no longer run M-x gdb under
emacs inside rxvt (gdb core dumps).  Reverting back to 7.3.50-1 and it
works.  The executable being debugged is built with gcc 4.5.3 and gdb
under rxvt and ddd works.  Running M-x shell (/bin/sh) gdb also works.
 Running M-x gdba fails identically  to M-x gdb.  The odd thing is
that after "Reading symbols ... done" nothing is typed and the
"Debugger segmentation fault (core dumped) occurs w/o typing a key.
