Sounds like you're running an older gdb which isn't very thread-smart.  You
can tell gdb to let these signals pass without interrupting the debugger
(the 'handle' command) as a workaround, if you aren't having any other
problems with gdb.

'info threads' to see the threads, 'thread <n>' to switch to a thread, most
other things work as normal.

If these commands don't work the way you expect, you may need to upgrade
your gdb.
