No, but I have encountered cut and paste problems in Emacs in the past (not GUD
specific).  I think these are generally due to the fact that the buffer I've
copied to is different to the one I'm trying to paste from: primary, secondary,
clipboard, kill ring, etc.

More information was requested three years ago, and was apparently not
given, so I'm closing this report.
