[Bug c++/12050] New: gdb hangs when full path is used to set a breakpoint

["spiros dot mrg at gmail dot com" <sourceware-bugzilla at sourceware dot org>]

When I set a breakpoint using just the filename, gdb accepts that fine. If I use
the full path, gdb hangs (with ~1% CPU consumption). Occurs in all versions from
6.6 to 6.8 - haven't tried a new one yet.
I am trying to use gdb with netbeans, but it doesn't work, and after checking
the logs, I found out that the reason for this is that Netbeans uses full paths
for setting the breakpoints to gdb.
