Hmm, you will need gdb, emacs debug info and probably the emacs sources
as well.
This link explains how to get the debug info:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/StackTraces#What_are_debuginfo_rpms.2C_and_how_do_I_get_them.3F
I'm not sure how to get sources under Redhat based distros.
Also get .gdbinit from
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/emacs.git/tree/src/.gdbinit?h=heads/emacs-25.3

After you have installed the debugging symbols and gdb, attach gdb to
the running Emacs by running
gdb -p xxxx
Where xxxx is Emacs' pid (a number). Find that out by running 'pgrep -a
emacs'. Then at the (gdb) prompt, type
source .gdbinit
break text_read_only
continue
Then try to kill the buffer. Hopefully the breakpoint will be hit and
emacs becomes frozen. At the (gdb) prompt, type
bt
