I don't understand why the code disappears.  What do you see in its place?
A new buffer?  The same buffer, but blank? Just the GUD buffer?

Have you compiled with -g?

If you type "frame" in the GUD buffer what do you get?

Emacs 22.1 has been released recently.  Can you see if you have the same
problem with this version. (Warning: it has a new GDB mode).
