if gdb segfaults, you have a problem on your system!

To debug gambas, you should compile everything with debugging information, and 
no optimization (at least the interpreter and the image effect component where 
Image.Spread lies).

Or you can just run your program with valgrind as explained on the website, 
and valgrind will tell you where something is wrong.
