[boost] slightly off topic- using GDB on cygwin to debug a DLL

In the past I've used GDB under cygwin to debug serialization
test failures for the gcc compiler.  This has worked pretty well.

However, now I have a couple of tests test_dll_simple and test_dll_exported
that I want to debug.  When I try this I get the following
error message:

gdb: unknown target exception 0xc0000135 at 0x7c964ed1

I'm thinking that this might be an indicator that "it"
can't find the dlls which are part of the test as they
are in a different place in the directory hierarchy than
the test executable.  Does anyone with experience
with this have any suggestions as to what to do?
