gdbmi exec-interrupt problem

[Brian Mitchell]

I am using the gdbmi interface to talk to GDB. I can get the process
running, but I can't stop it again using -exec-interrupt.

If I start gdb in a console:

gdb-mi -nw --interpreter=mi

and load and start my program:

GNU gdb 5.0 (20001125-1) (UI_OUT)

This GDB was configured as "i686-pc-cygwin".
(gdb)
file hello
&"file hello\n"
^done
(gdb)
-exec-run
^running
(gdb)

then the terminal locks up and I can't type any more commands, so I can't
enter '-exec-interrupt' to stop the inferior process. Typing Ctrl-C does
stop the process, but I would rather use the proper commands.

Has anyone had this problem before?
