Is GDB/MI supposed to accept all CLI commands?

If so, does gdb-5.3 or cvs do it? I know the documentation says that it
accepts CLI commands for Debug purposes only, however, reading through
the mailing lists, it looks like GDB/MI is supposed to accept CLI
commands.

If I debug a small main program and then type
b main
r
then the debugger will stop at the main.

If I debug a larger program and type the same commands, gdb never stops
at the main subprogram.

Does anyone know why? Is this a bug?

Thanks,
Bob Rossi
