Pause button in debuggers tools

While using a different program to do some debugging it dawned on me that C::B does not have a pause feature as part of the debugging tools.

There is a need for a way to stop an executing program, running under the debugger, so that new breakpoints can be set or so that variables can be inspected "at random". This would help with the request on the forum for the ability to set a breakpoint in a running program (which would be a pause, set BP, continue).

I suppose the ability to send (typed) commands to the debugger while it is running would satisfy this request, however it would seem that getting the debugger out of sync with the IDE would be an issue when sending raw commands.

Do you know of *any* way to pause the debuggee with gdb on windows? Because I know of none (in other words, the windows port of gdb doesn't have this ability).
