Thanks guys.  I would imagine that to make a difference the
GetThreadContext in the context of gdb itself would have to be hooked.

Any change someone does the little testing to make sure I'm not
having a local problem here?

as easy as:

gcc main.c -o main.exe -g3 -O0
gdb main.exe
start
watch count
'continue' several times, and send me or post here the results.

A log with the these on would be nice, but not essencial:
set debug infrun 1
set debugevents 1
set debugexceptions 1
maint show-debug-regs 1

Cheers,
Pedro Alves
