The first "Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault" means
that gdb intercepts the sigsegv, and allows you to inspect it f.i. by
printing $_siginfo.  The inferior is still live at this point.

Then when trying to continue using si,  the signal is passed on to the
inferior, which means it'll be terminated.

AFAIU, gdb has not crashed, and behaves as expected.  See below for a
similar scenario.
