that means the test crashed for some reason - you need to investigate
with a debugger what the problem is.  (or you can pull current master
and build again in the hope it was some transient issue that has been
fixed meanwhile.)

however, gdb is totally useless to debug a MSVC build - you need Visual
Studio for that; probably the build system needs to be taught not to
attempt to use gdb on windows...

try this ^^^ to debug the test with Visual Studio.
