Subject:	Emacs 19.34 again

I have this strange problem with Emacs 19.34. After applying all the patches
to my libc I have compiled the sources without any problems. Everything works
OK but only under DOS. When, however, I try to run emacs from under Loose95
(oops, Win95 ;-)) it starts, shows the invitation screen but just for a short
while. After that the screen flashes and I back to the command prompt. What
might be the cause of this problem?
Another thing. Isn't there really a way to make GDB run in Emacs debugger
mode? It says that "this system is not multi-tasking" (or something similar),
which of course is true. But is it really necessary to run GDB as a background
task. AFAIK GDB can run as a debugging server alongside with it's frontend.
The frontend task is to interpret messages and strings passed from GDB and
respond to them in appropriate way, either by sending back some message to GDB
or showing the user what's going on. Why isn't it possible under MS-DOG (I
mean it is possible, but not from under Emacs).

Regards
  Mark
