Well, I don't know the background of the problem you have, but, crashing
when running a program, and not crashing when running it through GDB
happens because GDB puts the debugged program into a different (and
usually safer) area of memory. Sounds to me like some pointer is going
somewhere it shouldn't and some area of memory is getting overwritten.
