Thanks. I did not know that. I was just living by my notes. The only time I
use gdb is to report Emacs bugs.

But now that I have emacs running through gdb, I am failing to get that
crash.. and without that, I got that crash 4 times since yesterday (and 2-3
times in the past week).

I use emacsclient by default. But in gdb I run ./emacs. Based on the
assertion failure in:

,-------- #21236 -- /home/kmodi/downloads/git/emacs/src/xdisp.c ---
| eassert (it->glyph_row == NULL || it->glyph_row->used[TEXT_AREA] == 0);
`-------- #21236 -- 2018/07/24 -- kmodi

would that make any difference?

If yes, how do I run emacsclient from gdb?
