gdb is an interactive application, which you need to run in a
(pseudo)terminal in order for it to work properly. Advanced Unix programming
books often have chapters on Unix' handling of terminals and working with
pseudo-terminals.

Look at ddd/ttytest.C and ddd/TTYAgent.[Ch] . Other programs that deal
pseudo-terminals are "screen", "expect" and terminal emulators for the X
window system like "xterm" and "rxvt".
