Is this from the trunk or the EMACS_22_BASE branch?  What is your
configuration? (M-x report-emacs-bug should provide these details.

Perhaps it thinks GDB is running.  What's the value of gud-running?  Are
the tool-bar icons greyed out?  What's it say about status in the square
brackets of the mode line for the GUD buffer?  Do you have anything in a
.gdbinit file?  If yes, what happens if you run
"gdb -nx --annotate=3 <prog>"?

If things still fail please set gdb-enable-debug to t
(evaluate (setq gdb-enable-debug t)), do M-x gdb and start GDB then post
the value of gdb-debug-log to emacs-devel@gnu.org.
