[yes, you can send questions about using GDB to this]

If GDB is still attached to your program, hitting control-c should
interrupt your program and allow you to see where it is. Otherwise,
your other option, if you are not attach, then just get the pid of
your program, and attach GDB to it using "attach <pid>".

The GDB documentation should provide you more details about this.
