What I did with my recent post about a MythFrontend crash, I simply
attached gdb to the process in question.   Mythbuntu by default provides
the  -dbg packages to get the debug symbols.

Run gdb as root, and then run:
attach <pid>
continue

Once you encounter a crash, gdb will say where it is.   And if you type
"bt" in gdb, you'll get a backtrace.   Those two things should be enough
to get the devs pointed in the right direction.
