Problem on Cygwin with gdb: segy input can't be tty

[Don McCarley]

In trying to debug code with gdb, any program taking stdin on the 
command line complains that tty (keyboard) is already taken by gdb, so 
it can't use tty.  Is there a way that you can get the input data into 
the program other than stdin; or force it in with stdin?

Example of problem:
---
$ gdb suresamp
GNU gdb 2003-09-20-cvs (cygwin-special)
Copyright ...
.
.
(gdb) r < /home/work/tape01-1.su
Starting program: /usr/local/cwp/bin/suresamp.exe < /home/work/tape01-1.su

/usr/local/cwp/bin/suresamp: fgettr.c: segy input can't be tty

Program exited with code 01.
(gdb)
---

suresamp (and other programs that use stdin) works fine when not in 
debug (gdb) mode (because gdb isn't using tty).

This may be a cygwin only issue, as it works on a linux sun box.

Any help or ideas are appreciated,
Don McCarley
