Entire gdb output - personal information removed

Just for information - the file you uploaded it contains a tiny amount of info
from gdb - just 4 lines at the top saying it is starting claws, and just 4
lines at the bottom saying it's got control again because claws crashed.

ALL the rest of the output is from claws, and is the "debug trace" that claws
produces when run with the "--debug" flag (in this case because gdb was told to
start claws by "run --debug").  These lines show what claws was doing and why
it was doing it... with as much or as little info as the claws programmers
thought they'd need when trying to follow the workings of claws.  Ideally it
shows what claws was about to try to do just before the crash, but earlier on
it will also show stuff from claws' setup which might help to explain what
happened.   

gdb itself really only comes into play once claws has crashed, when gdb is then
able to look at the contents of memory, create the stack trace etc, showing
what the immediate aftermath of the crash looks like and hopefully just info,
combined with the --debug info - for someone to work out why it happened.
