int main ()

printf("hello");
return 0;
}

Ok, I compiled the code.c with the cygwin gcc

C:\Documents and Settings\Rafa\Desktop>gcc code.c -g -o program.exe

I ran the cygwin gdb

C:\Documents and Settings\Rafa\Desktop>gdb program.exe

This GDB was configured as "i686-pc-cygwin"...

Then if I run the program (without any pause or breakpoint), the programs 
runs well

(gdb) r

Settings/Rafa/Desktop/program.exe

hello
Program exited normally.

But if I put a breakpoint in the main function, I get the segmentation fault 
message, even I try to continue.

(gdb) break main

Yes, I have NOD32 antivirus and Comodo firewall, but I also have NOD32 and 
Comodo firewall in the desktop pc and I don't have any problem with gcc or 
gdb.
Yes, I have installed in this pc (laptop) the Logitech webcam software and 
this is not installed in the desktop pc (I don't have any webcam on that 
pc), but could be it the cause of the segmentation fault?
