I can only guess as you don't say which version you are using or what your
script does.  ISTR that in Gdb didn't work in Emacs 22.1 if there was a Gdb
command that started execution in the .gdbinit file (or I guess with the -x
option).  This was fixed in Emacs 22.2

Before what? i.e. with which version of Emacs?  How did it work?  In graphical
mode with breakpoint icons, stack, locals buffers etc or just text mode
with the GUD buffer?
