Please ensure you have packages with debug symbols installed. You can do this by following the instructions at DebuggingProgramCrash.

  1. Start the program under control of gdb: 

    gdb <program>
(gdb) handle SIG33 pass nostop noprint
(gdb) run <arguments, if any>
  2. The program will start. Perform any actions necessary to reproduce the crash

  3. Retrieve a backtrace of the crash: 

    (gdb) thread apply all bt

  4. If the output gets very long, you might want to use: 

    (gdb) set logging file backtrace.txt
(gdb) set logging on
    beforehand.
  5. Include the complete output from GDB in your bug report.
