Does 'pkill -SIGUSR2 emacs' help? Otherwise running under gdb and
hitting C-z at the gdb terminal should give some more info.

(elisp) Error Debugging

-- User Option: debug-on-event
     If you set ‘debug-on-event’ to a special event (*note Special
     Events::), Emacs will try to enter the debugger as soon as it
     receives this event, bypassing ‘special-event-map’.  At present,
     the only supported values correspond to the signals ‘SIGUSR1’ and
     ‘SIGUSR2’ (this is the default).  This can be helpful when
     ‘inhibit-quit’ is set and Emacs is not otherwise responding.
