I'm using gdb 4.16, but with the Allegro you have just one breakpoint,
the program can't continue after this (due to some incompatibility of
gdb  with Allegro's timers and keyboard handler). So after my program
died completely I decided it couldn't handle .exe files.
But it was a problem of incorrectly set breakpoint. So now I see it
can handle .exe files, only the breakpoint has to be set very
carefully ;-)
