Make certain that the problems are in Insight. As far as I know, it is
very unlikely for the GUI part (Insight) to crash. More often than not,
it is the backend (gdb). Try debugging your program using command-line
gdb 5.3. (I think you can use "insight -nw" or "gdb -nw".)

Threads should work. Can you post a backtrace of the crash?
