 That PR is irrelevant.  I see the same behavior with 
 gdb-6.5.tar.gz built from source retrieved from ftp.gnu.org.
 In addition, the gdb that I've reporting the problem
 against is the gdb in the *base system*.  Having a working
 debugger in -current base system would seem to be an essential
 tool.  In fact, gdb appears to work fine with /bin/sh.  So,
 *the problem* is the new tcsh code.  The recent tcsh import
 needs to be reverted.
