That's because the shell grabs input from the same terminal. It should
work if you type something like "sleep 10000" in it first.

If your ncurses app is a bit like Emacs and you're not debugging startup, you
can run it in a terminal, find it's process no (1234, say) and attach to it
in gdb with "attach 1234".

I am trying to debug an app using the ncurses library using gdba.
I have opened a terminal and queried its tty ID using "tty"
I get something like "/dev/pts/2"
I go back to me debugging session in emacs (gdba) and type
"tty /dev/pts/2"
in order to seperate the programs IO from the gdb output.
But the output from the program being debugged freezes after a few lines.
Any ideas or pointers?
