That's the right way.

After you attach GDB, and see the GBD's prompt "(gdb)", type
"continue" into the buffer where Emacs shows this prompt.  Then the
Emacs process to which you attached GDB will resume running, and you
can proceed reproducing the problem in that Emacs.

If and when you succeed to reproduce the crash, you will see GDB take
control and say that the Emacs being debugged encountered a fatal
signal.  It will then show the prompt "(gdb)" again.  Type there the
following command:

   thread apply all bt

Then post here everything that command produces.
