Does the crash also occur if you use the gnat-gps package instead?

Yep,

Do the following command to know where your GNAT GPL 2008 scipt is ...
$ which gps
/opt/gnat/2008/bin/gps


Then just comment the following line on the gps file:
 LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$root/lib/gps:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

And it should work ....
