Looks like a bug in gdb to me. Could be anything.

It may be fixed in later versions of gdb. (7.7 is current)
But for 32bit windows 7.2 is still considered the best choice. (this is 
due to http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=14018 / happens 
often after fileopen/close dialog)

I have not yet tested 7.7 with the IDE, but if you accept the above bug, 
7.6 was tested with the IDE and the IDE deals with it. (And 7.7 is 
probably compatible too).
Yet 7.5.9 to 7.6.1 were terrible unstable. (7.7 not tested). 7.5.1 was 
fine, except for the above.

Since the above error only happens after the debug session, it will only 
affect the next session. And it adds the clicks to confirm the error.

As for the next debug session, there is a checkbox in the options "Reset 
debugger after each run"

-----------
The only other thing I can thing off, and this is just a guess: The 
error points to something with dll (solib). Sometimies gdb has issues 
with debug info it finds on dll. try 
http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/GDB_Debugger_Tips#gdb.exe_has_stopped_working
in the field "debugger_startup_options" enter: --eval-command="set 
auto-solib-add off"

But I have no idea if that is going to change anything.
