What is the --force-dump option? I don't think we have it in Emacs.

Looks like your stack is smashed. Could it be you have infinite
recursion?
One thing to try is to load the src/.gdbinit file from the Emacs
distribution before you issue the "run" command, it might help you by
stopping Emacs earlier, before it does something that destroys the
stack. If that doesn't work, put a breakpoint inside some function
that recentf-edit-list calls, like Fformat perhaps, invoke
recentf-edit-list, then step through the code until you see where it
crashes.
(The above is based on incomplete information, because you didn't
explain how recentf-edit-list is called, and what exactly is in your
private pdumper file.)
