Hi, eran, that's was a good solution.

I have such issue several days ago when I used gdb-mi plugin for Codeblocks.

I will ask OBF (the gdb-mi plugin maintainer) to follow your steps.

Thanks.

BTW: I remember once I have such issue, I looked up this in the GDB documents, but no information about this Windows specific issue, So can some one enhanced this in the gdb documents?
