Bug with M-x gdb losing environment variables

[Peter Gordon]

I am working on Fedora 5,  xemacs-21.5.27 

./configure --prefix=/sw/xemacs-21.5.27 --with-xft
--with-xft=emacs,tabs,menubars,gauges --without-debug
--without-error-checking --with-gtk


When I use gdb from a shell within xemacs, and type 
show env LD_LIBRARY_PATH
I get the right answer.

If I run M-x gdb, and then do show env LD_LIBRARY_PATH, there is no
value.

When I run against xemacs 21.4.19, I get the right answer.
