I don't think sending signals work.  But if you want the I/O
buffer to be more than just O, then the comint package is a good
way to take care of the I part.

Are you sure this is the always the case ?
I think it does not depend on gdb-ui but on the underlying gdb session,
so it might depend on which gdb executable you're using (native port,
mingw, cygwin, dos, godknowswhatelse, ...) and on what kind of runtime
library is used by the debugged program (again, native, cygwin,
djgpp, ...).

Not having used w32 much more than to play solitaire, I really have
no idea what I'm talking about, but it seems like it's not obviously
true that "gdb-ui doesn't output to the I/O buffer in NT" in all
circumstances.  Could someone who knows better (Jason? Eli?) pipe in?
