ddd freeze on read from redirect

Hello,

I am trying to debug a program that uses a redirected input/ouput and 
ddd keep freezing up after starting a new thread on the fread portion of 
the program.

my normal run for the program is:

mygain.exe <infile.bin >outfile.bin

Ddd freezes, however, after starting a new thread on the line:

nread = fread(bufPtr,size, count, stream);

with

ddd output of

(gdb)step
[New thread 4588.0x1270]

ddd hangs saying waiting until gdb gets ready.

All other parts of the program seem to run just fine via the debugger.

any ideas?

thanks

Dan
