Comment (by pbennett):

 1. Turn on core dumps by running this
 {{{
 ulimit -c unlimited
 }}}
 2. Run mythfrontend from your home directory by running mythfrontend.real
 from a command prompt in the home directory

 3. After it crashes there should be a file called core in your home
 directory. run this

 {{{
 cd
 gdb /usr/bin/mythfrontend.real core
 bt
 }}}

 If the executable or the core file is in a different place substitute the
 correct executable or core file name and path.
