Comment on Gazebo Tutorial

When initializing Gazebo, one should run the gzserver comment, however, this can result in a malfunctioning program, i.e. you will get the following message: Segmentation fault (core dumped). The solution for this is to run Gazebo in debugging mode (gdb):

1. Open a terminal (ctrl-alt-t)
2. Run:

   gdb /usr/bin/gzserver

   when (gbd) is shown, type run and <enter>
3. Open another terminal (ctrl-alt-t)
4. Run:

   gdb /usr/bin/gzclient

   when (gbd) is shown, type run and <enter>
