The IDE should probably create a pseudo-terminal. That's what GPS
does, as well as what we do when we test GDB (using expect).

Regarding how to prevent this, I posted a patch not too long ago
that proposed the addition of a new setting, off by default, that
would force the debugger to "interactive" mode (it's useful in
the case when running GDB from a "cygwin" window which does NOT
setup a real pseudo-terminal, but rather some pipes). I didn't
feel that there was real interest in this feature, so I figured
no one else was going to use it but me, and only on Windows, so
I droped it.

I really have to agree that Eclipse should be enhanced to allow you
to choose rather than force the default, if that's really the case.
But in the interim, the patch I suggested might be helpful.
