I read somewhere that it can happen that a programs segfaults because some allocation problem, which doesnt happen inside gbd (because there some more memory is allocated, or whatever).

Running gbd with the core generated by the segfault, it outputs this:

Program terminated with signal 11, Segmentation fault.
