Here's what you need to do to debug things properly.

Edit settings.pro in the top level of the mythgame source to enable debug 
mode, and disable release mode.  Do a make clean, then rebuild things.  Make 
sure that there isn't a line in the makefile to strip the binary on install.  
If you're patient, do the same to your checkout of the MC dir, since that 
will make a debug version of libmyth.

Run mythgame in gdb, like you are now.  Just let it run, and segfault.

After it segfaults, generate a backtrace with 'bt full' at the prompt.

That _should_ give enough information to see what's wrong.
