That clearly rings a bell.  Try "gdb --no-async", and see if that makes
these problems go away.

I thought I've eradicated that bug long ago, but I guess stepping through
_put_path somehow causes it to come back again.  I will look into this.

Are you sure that you used GDB 5.0 from SimTel.NET, not something you
yourself compiled?  The fix for this bug was in a library function, and
stock v2.03 libc.a doesn't have that bug fixed.
