gdb not working in emacs

[cplum984]

I've been using gdb within xemacs for 17 years without issues. Switch over to 
emacs and it just hangs. I do the usual "M-x gdb", get prompted for the app to 
debug, press return, and the gdb buffer pops right up. I get the normal gdb 
preamble and then the "(gdb)" prompt. Up until this point everything is just 
like with xeamcs. However, anything I type just hangs. Even "help". C-c C-c 
gets me out of it. This is on the same machine I use xemacs+gdb on. Any 
ideas/suggestions?
