That's why I described everything you already have that you would have
to make available as a test case:
- A binary that shows the problem
- A command line and input files for the binary
- A transcript of a GDB session which shows the problem.
- If possible, a backtrace of GDB crashing, which would allow GDB
maintainers to guess at the problem.
