stderr doesn't work in gdb?

["Phan, Linh H (3443)" <Linh.H.Phan@jpl.nasa.gov>]

Hi,

  it seems there is a problem with stderr when running a program under gdb in cygwin 1.7.9 with 64 bit Windows 7; eg, if I run this program:

#include <stdio.h>
main()
{
  fprintf(stderr,"stderr does not print out.\n");
  fprintf(stdout,"Only stdout does print out.\n");
}

(gdb) r
Only stdout does print out.


The program works fine outside of gdb; ie, stderr does work when not running in gdb.
Does anyone know a fix for this?

Thank you,

Linh
PS  This my version of cygwin:
CYGWIN_NT-6.1-WOW64 LMC-022482 1.7.9(0.237/5/3) 2011-03-29 10:10 i686 Cygwin

and gdb:
GNU gdb (GDB) 7.3.50.20110821-cvs (cygwin-special)

I also tested under:
GNU gdb 6.8.0.20080328-cvs (cygwin-special)
on the same cygwin 1.7.9 on 64 bit Windows7 and the same stderr problem exist.
