Hi Eliot,

handle SIGUSR2 nostop noprint noignore
 
If I include the above line in my .gdbinit then gdb complains:

Cannot find user-level thread for LWP XXXXX

where XXXXX is the process number for the VM.  Sometimes the VM window stays open and freezes at that point and sometimes it closes. Gdb then states that the "Target is running" when I type in the commands you listed.  If I comment the "handle SIGUSR2 ..." line out then I get this from those commands:

just looks like the OS/run-time is not letting the program set a handler for SIGUSR2 and/or not allowing it to be caught.  This is a deal breaker.  Why it's happening I don't know, but currently Cog's heartbeat on linux depends on being able to catch SIGUSR2.
