OK, so the problem lies elsewhere.

That's all expected and indicates you have at least textedit.app-dbgsym 
installed -- the file at /usr/lib/debug contains the detached debugging 
symbols.  Please answer "y" to the question "Make breakpoint pending on 
future shared library load?", then type "r" and when you get SIGABRT, type 
"bt" at the gdb prompt and send the output.
