Please attach a debugger and produce a backtrace, including the Lisp
backtrace (use the "xbacktrace" command for the latter).  Thanks.

Find out the PID of the Emacs process, a number.  Then:

 $ cd /path/to/emacs/src
 $ gdb -p PID

Once GDB prints its initial blurb and shows its "(gdb)" prompt, type:

 (gdb) bt

If this doesn't end with a Lisp-level backtrace, type:

 (gdb) source ./.gdbinit
 (gdb) xbacktrace
