yes, this is a known issue on debian/testing systems.
unfortunately it is not a bug in Gem but rather a problem with the 
combination of libstdc++ and nvidia-drivers (i guess you are using them)

Gem uses exception-handling for various errors, like not being able to 
load an image with [pix_image] or not finding a FreeFrame-plugin.
the above mentioned bug crashes applications which throw an error (even 
though it gets caught)

this bug is already filed in the debian bug-tracker, though it doesn't 
seem to be high-priority.
there are some workarounds, which you can find at
