I understand that the problem happens in RHGDB only when you restart
the debuggee.  If so, the equivalent sequence in GDB would be to let
the program run to completion, then type "run" again.  This restarts
the program with the same argv[] array as before, and the breakpoints
you've set should still be valid.

Perhaps a fixed release of Binutils could be available by the time
GDB 5.1 is out.  (I estimate that will take at least another month.)
