and i provided you with a specific explanation why actually _debugging
this with current gdb_ *is* hypothetical. ;)
all i'm saying is that the patch doesn't make things worse, at least
with mingw - i have no idea in how far gdb/cygwin has the same problem -
feel free to verify. once the real problem is fixed, the patch should
become superfluous in the first place. so yes, obviously it is only a
workaround. unfortunately, i don't have the time and motivation to
investigate it properly.
