Signal handling in tcsh is broken, and one manifestation of
the problem is the behavior you're seeing with gdb.  I've 
repeatedly asked to have the 6.15.0 version of tcsh backed
out of src/ to the previously working 6.14.0 version, but no
one who can affect such a change seems to think a default user
shell with broken signal handling is a problem.  The only
workaround that I've found is "setenv SHELL sh" prior to
executing gdb.
