OK, I see.

M-x gud-gdb is the old 'text-command' mode as in Emacs 21, while M-x gdb
gives the GDB Graphical Interface as described in the manual.

I think M-x gdb fails because of the extra ^M characters that are printed by
gdb, as I reported earlier in:

http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2008-07/msg01421.html

It appears that Mac different line endings to normal Unix/Linux just as
w32 does, but this doesn't appear to cause a problem/be visible with
Carbon Emacs.
