I tried it with 2 different executables (both C++, both compiled with
GCC3.2).  I tried it with both the stock gdb (20010428-3) & the one
listed as experimental (20020718-1).  I also tried it with both 1.3.13-2
& 1.3.12-4.

The test was, set a breakpoint at the first line of main (done by
default by the gui), and click the run button.  With both programs &
both versions of GDB, the results were the same:  With 1.3.12-4, it
worked fine.  With 1.3.13-2, gdb got the sigsegv signal.

I don't know if this is a problem with gdb, or with cygwin (maybe the
new malloc?).
