Please note that Ruby 1.8.x is not multithread and that the
interpreter cannot enter in the context from another thread.

Also, there must be a code that raised this segmentation fault, any
particular function you're invoking either form C side of FXRuby or in
Ruby-land.

If you ask the same question on FXRuby group you will get the same
answers: show some code.

Either to report a bug to Ruby or FXRuby you will need this, so better
start looking what your code is doing and see what could be the
culprit.

As for GDB, You can clone RubyInstaller repository and build the
DevKit yourself to include GDB in it. But don't expect see in GDB a
backtrace of the root of your problem, because is not defined if is
FXRuby or Ruby-land.
