GUD gdb not working in Emacs v23.1.1?

Hello,

I am trying to move from Emacs v22.3.1 to v23.1.1 and all was going well
until I tried to run gdb using gud inside Emacs.

When I do meta-x gdb and give a command of 'gdb /my/executable/here' the
window comes up fine, but when I type a command at the gdb prompt upon
hitting return key to execute the command, nothing happens, status bar says
'Debugger:run' and the result is never shown.  I can type 'ctrl-c ctrl-c' to
kill the command and get the '(gdb)' prompt again, but another command just
fails the same way.

This is gdb v6.8 on Linux Centos v4 32bit.

Has anyone else faced this issue?  What is the best way to proceed?

I attached to gdb from the old emacs and got this stack trace:
