This is a problem in GDB, not in the Cygwin DLL.  My mistake.  I fetched
the official 7.6 version of GDB since it already contained Cygwin x86_64
support so I thought it's sufficient.  Unfortunately it doesn't handle
special Cygwin strings in terms of Cygwin signal handling correctly.

I'm just uploading a gdb-7.6.50 version build from current CVS which
should fix this.


Thanks for the reports,
