Okay, maybe not very. But 6.3 is previous release. In this case, it's 
apparently gdb that's having problem -- and most likely not in MI mode but in 
the core. If I, or you, try to report this bug, we'll be told that to try 
current version.

No, 6.4 should work fine.

All testing was done with 6.4.

That's a good idea, I'll look into that.
