I'm actually astonished that gdb works well enough, given that it seems to be linked against the ncurses library (at least my desktop version). Perhaps you just didn't use anything in it that would have send escape sequences?

I think you're right about it not using any special escape sequences. gdb is very much like an ordinary shell, in that it doesn't need any editing capabilities. You enter a command and new stuff gets printed out.
For fun, I tried running vi within pbterm. It was a mess, of course, as expected.
