Follow the instructions in report-emacs-bug, i.e. start Emacs in GDB and
then start an external process to get it to crash:

   If Emacs crashed, and you have the Emacs process in the gdb debugger,
   please include the output from the following gdb commands:
       `bt full' and `xbacktrace'.

Please do this with the most up to date version of Emacs that you have.
