I think this is not really a DOS limitation, but a misfeature of how the 
ported gdb loads the debuggee image.  Somebody once said here that if you 
put a breakpoint in `exit' which will stop the program right before it 
actually exits, you *can* use the `run' command to restart the debuggee.  
I didn't test this, but if you hate restarting gdb (especially if you 
changed a lot of settings inside gdb which you don't want to lose), you 
might as well give this a try.  If you do, please post your experience 
here.
