Comment:

 Peter, I'm going to close this as invalid for insufficient info for now.

 The best way to capture a segfault for analysis later is to get a
 coredump. You do this by running "ulimit -c unlimited" before you run the
 program you want info on. Then when it eventually crashes you run "gdb
 `which name_of_program` core" and type in the commands to get the
 information, in this case "thread apply all bt" hit return until it
 finishes scrolling and then cut and paste everything from the when you
 started gdb to a file. Then keep the core file. If some piece of debugging
 info is missing it can sometimes be added after the fact if you have still
 have the core dump.
