debugging ncurses from emacs

[Hadron Quark]

I am trying to debug an app using the ncurses library using gdba.

I have opened a terminal and queried its tty ID using "tty"

I get something like "/dev/pts/2"

I go back to me debugging session in emacs (gdba) and type

"tty /dev/pts/2"

in order to seperate the programs IO from the gdb output.

But the output from the program being debugged freezes after a few lines.

Any ideas or pointers?
