Do you have any means to find out where in the GDB code is it stuck
when this happens.  It seems like it's in some input function, but it
would be nice to know.

Also, please tell exactly how do you invoke GDB (the exact command
line), and what version of DOS do you boot under DOSEmu.

What about other suggestions of the FAQ--did you try that?  I'm
talking about "secure off", zero HogThreshold, and "rawkeyboard" in
/etc/dosemu.conf.  At least some of these seem to be relevant to
input problems.
