It works for me so I can't infer much from this report.  Can you say which
version of gdb-ui.el this is and whether it worked with an earlier one?
Also, I think there must be something particular about your program.  Can
you work out what it is?

Note that gdb-ui.el lists known bugs.  One says:

  3) M-x gdb doesn't work with "run" command in .gdbinit, use M-x gdba instead.
