You are passing SomeApp.app to the gdb. AFAIK, program you launch using 
terminal service is run in terminal's cwd. Therefore you should pass full path 
to the application.

Question to Alex: would it be possible to add a key 'WorkingDirectory' to the 
properties dictionary? If it is nil, then terminal's cwd will be used. I think 
it shoudl be useful.
