In your IDE, debug perspective, click on the gdb entry in the left-hand 
side view where thread, inferior, is shown in a tree. Bottom view should 
then show gdb console. In it, type:

show version

it will print the version.

Another way is to open your 'cmd.exe' and type:

C:> ntox86-gdb
(gdb) show version


Could you turn on verbose logging in the IDE, in your debug 
configuration, Debugger tab, scroll down and check the checkbox. Then 
copy the output from gdb console and paste it here (or in an attached file).

I used gdb from command line.

For diagnosing IDE/gdb interaction, please capture verbose gdb log so we 
can take a look.

Crashes a lot when debugging - could be a problem with app itself which only manifests when debugging, this happens a 
lot - memory layout and contents is
diffrent when app has debug symbols. For debugging make sure your library and binaries exactly the same on host & target - library mismatch can cause this behavior.
Mudflap known to have lots of false positives. Try memory analysis instead.
