Note that I removed emacs-devel from the CC list: there's no need to
discuss bug reports on that list, it just confuses people and the bug
tracker.

Well, how about if you start by telling what kind of "crash" was that?
GDB normally says something like "Program received signal SIGFOO, ...".
What was the signal in your case, please?  In general, please post
everything GDB displays at the point of crash, before it displays its
"(gdb)" prompt (at which you types "bt full").

Also, please start GDB from the Emacs's src/ directory, so that the
backtrace includes the Lisp-level backtrace, and also some very
helpful commands are available for displaying Lisp data types.
