To extract information from those tracebacks you have to:

1) Enter to the setedit/tools directory
2) Compile the symify tool (gcc -o symify symify.c)
3) Run it like this:
./symify input_file outpu_file ../makes/editor.exe

This will look for the symbols in the ../makes/editor.exe and replace 
the values of the addresses.
The values are system dependent so I can't do it in my machine.

Is ok, I want to know the reason for the crash.

I don't think that's the reason.

No problem, crashes must be solved, even if they turn out to be for some 
silly reason.

Just try using symify so we can find the line of code where the code 
crashed.
