I have never seen these problems.  Please post more details about the
program and your setup:

	1) The type and version of your operating system (DOS?
           Windows? what version?).

	2) The size and time stamp of gdb.exe you are using, and what
           was the name of the zip file you got it from.

	3) The source of the program you were debugging, the GCC
           command used to compile and link it, and the GDB command
           line used to invoke the debugger.

	4) The version of GCC you used to compile and link your
           program.

FYI, the deviation of the GDB operation on DOS/Windows from what it
does on Unix are spelled out in section 12.1 of the DJGPP FAQ list.
None of what you report comes close to what's described there.
