I doubt if it is worth your while to switch to FSDB.  The debugger built 
into RHIDE should have much less problems that FSDB, since RHIDE is 
actively maintained and has many subtle bugs in the DJGPP debug support 
corrected.  If RHIDE crashes for some program, so will FSDB, most 
probably (if it doesn't, just tell Robert Hoehne at he will probably fix 
this in no time).

I'd suggest to find a work-around to debug your program with RHIDE (if 
you are indeed certain that it should crash in that situation).
