RE: gdb-ui can't handle mutiple debugging sessions

[Zoltan Kemenczy]

Yes. For the java application I used M-x jdb with the default 'jdb -attach 
javadebug' parameters, and M-x gdb used 'gbd -fullname' (the 'attach' and 'dll' 
gdb commands are used subsequently in the *gud* buffer to specify the dll file 
and process id).
I was able to do this with emacs-CVS and and emacs-21.3.
