breakpoint commands no more working due to MI front-end

Hello,

I am using minGW GDB 6.3.1 on a windows XP Pro PC, and I am using
breakpoint commends to do some tasks each time a breakpoint is reached
and then continue execution.
Everything is working really fine with GDB only and with Insight.
(this is definitely a powerfull feature, I can also use hook-stop to
do the same ).

But when I try it with Eclipse front-end connected to gdb through MI
commands, it stops working:
GDB stops on my breakpoint but it does not execute the commends
associated to the breakpoint and it does not continue execution.

I turned on MI logs to see what happens and it appears that GDB sends
a "*stopped\n" message to Eclipse, Eclipse sends commands to get infos
on threads, stack frame... and GDB never executes my commands and
never continue execution.

Has anybody already encountered this problem ?
Do you think it will be easy for me to modify GDB to workaround this
problem? any hints on the files I should looked at ?

Thanks in advance,
David
