Do you have something strange in $HOME/.inputrc or /etc/inputrc? gdb uses the readline library for interactive input and those are the config files it reads at startup. If you do have either or both of them try temporarily moving/renaming them away and see if the problem goes away.=20 It is a little strange that this wouldn't happen in other apps though, because e.g. bash also uses readline.
