Yes, gdb GNATS but it is not 673.

Stopping/suspending a running program to inspect its stacktrace. If you set the breakpoint before
or while you are suspended you are fine.
To make this clear this is not a CDT problem, you can easily reproduce
on the console: Where "/dev/pts/2" is some other terminal from an xterm
run the program and try to suspend it(with CTRL-C).
gdb --tty=/dev/pts/2 foobar
(gdb) run
....
CTRL-C
We try to cope with this, the best possible by trying with some &*#&@ ugly
hack to retreive the PID of the process and drop the signal ourselve to the
inferior, but it's not portable and does not work all the time.
