As for a workaraound, sorry. But when gd crashtes, the only think you 
can do, is to avoid issuing the command in question.

As for  "-symbol-list-lines refs_format.pas"
this is issued, if the file refs_format.pas is in a visible editor.

So if you are looking at any other file, it might be ok. Of course, if 
you need to debug in that file, you can not avoid it.

Is that file recompiled everytime? If not, then maybe when it gets 
recompiled, then sometime it goes good, sometime bad? Also if it is in a 
package, then you could switch off debug info for that package.

Actually, in 1.3 you may be able to try something else.

Install fpdebug package in the ide, add fpgdbmidebugger to "uses" in 
ide/debugmanager. Then in options under debugger choose "gdb with fpdebug"
It does not actually do anything on mac yet (it doesnt do much on other 
OS either...). But it mill prevent line info from being read. However 
there will be no blue dots in any file.
