I'm aware of 1 issue that crashes GDB. That issue is related to printing huge arrays. Printing or
indexing an array declared with 'array[0..high(longint)] of byte' will crash GDB, because it tries
to allocate that much memory which is not available.

For the rest GDB with stabs is stable and used everyday in development of FPC and Lazarus.
