That was before I looked at the Cygwin source.  ;~)

I was only going off of the behavior when gdb would die:

gdb: unknown target exception 0x000006d1 at 0x77e87e08

Program received signal ?, Unknown signal.

(gdb)

I now see I should have blamed kernel32.c, which is new to 1.3.3,
but I'll be damned if I can see where _libkernel32_a_iname() comes 
from.  In any case, my immediate problem is fixed, since I downgraded
to Cygwin 1.3.2-1 I can now use gdb.  My current problem is that the
core does not happen when I am running miniperl under gdb, and the core
file that dumper creates causes gdb itself to core.
