Then start Emacs via emacsclient as you usually do, and then
immediately attach GDB to it with "gdb -p PID" where PID is the
process ID of the Emacs process (NOT the emacsclient process!).  When
GDB shows its prompt "(gdb)", type "continue RET" to let Emacs
continue to run.  Then do whatever you did before to cause the abort,
and GDB should kick in when you succeed.
