Based on this post, gdb is crashing.
https://community.slickedit.com/index.php/topic,1399.msg6205.html#msg6205
Are you running an appropriate version of GDB. gdb --version
In tools -> options -> debugging -> configurations - do you have the correct gdb selected.
Can you debug with gdb outside of slickedit as described here

Hmm, this is weir!I'm sure I've checked both GDB in /usr/bin/gdb and the one provided by SlickEdit it ~/slickedit/bin/gdb and both crashed (IIRC that was on my Laptop),I just switched from the GDB provided by SlickEdit to the one provided by the Debian repo's and not it's working.
I didn't have time to read those posts you're refering to (I'll try to read through the tomorrow), but this is what gdb --version provides:
GDB Provided by SlickEdit
./gdb --version
