Generally GDB tries to disturb the program as little as possible.
Ideally programs would always behave exactly the same way under GDB
that they do otherwise.
I couldn't say from what you've written here what's going on. I'm the
opposite of a Darwin expert, though. Maybe the program is
multi-threaded, and has a race condition, and its timing is being
affected by GDB.
If you have a program you can post that we could try out ourselves,
that would be the most helpful thing.
