Works fine here:

$ cat bug.c
#include <stdio.h>

int main ()
{
printf("hello");
return 0;
}

$ gcc -g -o bug bug.c

$ gdb --silent ./bug
(gdb) start

You have to explain *exactly* what you do to experience the bug, not
just say "it gets a segmentation fault".  Copy and paste the exact
commands and output, don't describe.
