If you can run a shell on a machine, you can do that:

1) Get the pid of the frozen gbx2.

2) Run "gdb /usr/bin/gbx2 <pid>" to stop the process and debug it.

3) Use the gdb "bt" command to get a stack backtrace and send it to me.

Anyway, you should try to get a more recent version of Gambas, as it may be a 
bug that has been fixed since.
