Issue with GDB under Cygwin and XP

Here is a run of a HellowWorld program (listed below in gdb).

Can someone tell me why the variables a, b, c are not the correct 
values. I dumped the local stack and the variables are correct on the stack.

I'm running Windows XP under cygwin.
gcc 4.2.3

The gdb run is as follows:
