Ouch, macOS!  You may need to use lldb, then, not GDB.  And that will
make the job of finding the problem harder.

No, there are no symbols (or at least GDB couldn't find them).  But I
don't think you were in the right thread when you did that.  The Emacs
main thread is always thread 1, not 42 or some other number.  So
always say "thread 1" before "bt full".

Did the SIGBUS thing happen when you did the image-scrolling thing
that causes crashes?
