[Bug 2033652] [NEW] gdb crashes when debugging gimp, can't report crash

[Jonathan Kamens]

Public bug reported:

I was debugging gimp when gdb to debug bug #2031907 when gdb crashed on
me and reported a useless backtrace followed by this:

---

A fatal error internal to GDB has been detected, further
debugging is not possible.  GDB will now terminate.

This is a bug, please report it.  For instructions, see:
<https://www.gnu.org/software/gdb/bugs/>.

Segmentation fault (core dumped)

---

I attempted to report the crash file in /var/crash rather than just
filing a bare bug like this without any crash info, but ubuntu-bug
failed to report the crash, about which I will file a separate bug
report because that's an apport bug rather than a gdb bug.

I imagine there must be a way to get the crash info to you but I don't
know what it is, so if you have any pointers that would be helpful.
