Public bug reported:

While attempting to debug a simple C++, program, GDB crashes. The
program is below:

$ gdb
GNU gdb (Ubuntu 7.7.1-0ubuntu5~14.04.2) 7.7.1
...
(gdb) file ./cryptopp-test.exe 
Reading symbols from ./cryptopp-test.exe...done.
(gdb) r
Starting program: /home/user/cryptopp-test.exe 
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/gdb/auto-load/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6.0.19-gdb.py", line 63, in <module>
    from libstdcxx.v6.printers import register_libstdcxx_printers
ImportError: No module named 'libstdcxx'

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
Segmentation fault

**********

This appears to be a Debian bug from February, 2013:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=701935.

**********

I'm on Ubuntu 14.04, x86_64 fully patched. I'm using Gnome-Fallback
desktop (it seems many think everything is a tablet now. I'd like to get
a hold of the drugs the folks at Microsoft, Fedora, Ubuntu (etc) are
using for recreational purposes, too).

The program below is going to provide (or not provide) heuristic
evidence of a bias in the Random Number Generator. The crash occurs with
different symbol levels (-g) and optimizations (-O).
