I had a look at the elisp-function gdb-send.
The command process-send-string is used there for sending commands to gdb.
Is it right that the problem manifests itself already there?
The doc of process-send-string says that this command may send the string
contents as separate bunches of data.
If the output is already incomplete because of the partitioned input through
process-send-string I see no way for a cygwin-specific workaround and we must
wait for a fix of gdb.
Do you know where I should report the bug?
Best regards,
Tobias
