I waited a bit for other maintainers to respond.  The only thing that
I can say about the matter is that I'm not seeing the problems that
you're seeing, but, OTOH, I almost never use the released gdb-5.0. 
(Nor do most of the other maintainers.)

I sent a reply to your gdb@sourceware message a few moments ago.  You
(Jiva) should get a copy in your mailbox.  Others who are following
this discussion can see it at
