When gdb attempts to debug such a program, the program crashes. It seems a problem with at least the NT version of advapi32.dll and not with gdb, as I have seen that too with IBM's debugger in VisualAge C++ for NT. However, they have been able to add a workaround for this problem in the latest version of their debugger.
