Yes, it is still showing the Abort dialog. In the dialog, there are two options: 1. Debug Emacs by attaching it with GDB only via `pid`  and   2. produce a backtrace file in the current directory.So, last time I opted for the first one using `pid`, it showed SIGTRAP. However, now GDB is debugging very slowly and is taking a lot of time. Even after that, SIGTRAP didn't show up this time. That's why, I could not reply back here.

As expected. Does Emacs still pop up the Abort dialog if you start it directly, outside of GDB?  If it still shows Abort dialog, then you have shown a GDB session where you attached GDB to Emacs, then said "continue", and GDB then reported that Emacs got a SIGTRAP signal.  If at that point you say   (gdb) thread apply all bt what does GDB display?
