If you can reproduce the crash, it's an ideal candidate to record with rr and try to debug :)
Oh I believe it crashes, but I’d speculate wildly this perhaps indicates some bad combo of gnu with other tools, or a missing lib, or a side effect of system customization, or a beta distro, or something like that maybe? Are you sure it’s an issue with gdb? I’ve used gdb a bunch, mostly on lots of Ubuntu machines, I haven’t seen tui crashing like that myself.

Oh, I'm sure it is. Debugging it would probably be good practice. I'll just open my working debugger...
