Ugh. Is the multiice server really that closely coupled to a version of
GDB? I wouldn't think so. In fact, the last time I built it, I didn't
even have GDB lying around anywhere. You should be able to merge this
into something newer, but it should not matter. I would not, however,
run anything < 5.2 on cygwin. There were major issues with gdb in that
release. (And I'm sure Insight had it share of problems, too.)

You could try using an earlier gdb. Maybe there was a change in newer
releases which breaks the multi-ice server. The only way to know is to
find out.
Your next recourse, given that this is a GDB problem, will be to send a
session (server and host) to the gdb mailing list
(gdb at sources dot redhat dot com) asking for help, adivce, etc. You should
probably also "set debug remote 1" so that protocol debug messages are
sent to stdout. This may help someone recognize what is wrong.
