Try executing "set breakpoint pending on" in the GDB console.

Or in the dialog Edit/GDB Settings, set the entry entitled
"Debugger's behaviour regarding pending breakpoints" to "on"
(without the quotes).

The default value of this field is "auto", which works in GDB
but not in the DDD GDB console.  I imagine with this setting
GDB only gives a prompt if connected to a real terminal
(though I would have thought the DDD pseudo-tty should
be equivalent).
