You must run the interpreter with 'gdb' to check where it is stalled.

$ cd /path/to/my/project
$ gdb gbx3
...
(gdb) run
...
^C
(gdb) bt
...

Then send the result of the gdb 'bt' command.

You can also debug a running interpreter that way:

$ sudo gdb gbx3 <pid of the interpreter running your program>

You must use 'sudo' because debugging a running program is a privileged 
operation.
