gdb causing .dll lockup?

All,
I'm having a problem with gdb under cygwin. I've been using the
GUI-frontended one that appears on typing "gdb" in my bash shell.
If I start debugging my program, everything works fine, unless I don't
have a breakpoint to hit. If I've done a continue, with either no
breakpoint or with breakpoints that are not being reached, I can't quit
gdb without locking it up. I think that if I remember to hit Cntl-C in
the DOS window that is popped up, the program being debugged will exit,
and then I can exit gdb. If I am at a breakpoint, I can exit gdb. I
cannot halt (with the little stopsign icon) the process first, I get the
same lockup when I try to halt it.
When I say "lock up", I mean it! :) The processes cannot be killed from
the NT (4, sp6) task manager. I suspect that it is occurring while
something is in the .dll, because other bash shells that I have up at
the same time also lock up and cannot be killed.
I just did a download of all the latest packages yesterday. I had been
using the 1.1.1 until then; with that version I could not halt, but I
think I could kill gdb from the task manager after locking it.
I'll post my cygcheck in response to this message, after I reboot.
What I'd like to know is:
a) Has anyone else seen this behavior?
(I suspect not, as it's a major #%$@# and would have been addressed.)
b) Any suggestions for tracking down the problem?
It just occured to me that it might be an anti-virus interaction, as I
had a hard lockup when forgetting to disable McAfee before installing
with Setup. I'll try disabling it, but now that I've written, I want to
get this onto the list before I reboot.
TIA,
Eric Monsler
