The title says it all. Recently I was debugging a project and the debugger (GDB 7.1) crashed all of a sudden, because of an endless recursion while trying to print a graph structure. At first I couldn't even imagine that a debugger could crash (a stable version) but it had. So it's really interesting to me, have you ever crashed a debugger?
+1 for simplicity.

Yes. My coworkers and I were debugging a nasty concurrency bug.
It crashed GDB, so we ran our program under GDB under GDB and eventually found the problem.
It was so meta ;)

Yep. I've crashed DDD fairly frequently, gdb occasionally but not in the last 15 years.
