etc/DEBUG says to run GDB in the src directory. When I do that:

$ gdb emacs core

Are you sure you want to change it? (y or n) [answered Y; input not from

(gdb) xbacktrace
You can't do that without a process to debug.
(gdb) quit

Probably has to do with emacs being an install of Emacs trunk as of
about August while the source tree is up to date. How do I get a
xbacktrace from an install?

My kill-emacs-hook is:
