I have no trouble passing args with gdb, but I do
have the same problem you show.  If I try to run
anything in gdb the second time, it always locks
up.  I haven't tried to debug this yet.  I just
always quit and rerun gdb if I want to rerun a
program.

If you do lock up gdb this way, kill causes Windows 95
to hang.  However, you can click the [x] box on the
console and do an End Task.  This kills your shell, but
at least you don't have to reboot.
