This looks like stack overflow printing an object that contains
a pointer to itself. Could you verify this was stack overflow?
What is the value of Vprint_length?
Also, run-time debugging log with dbx (gdb won't work), manually newlined:
Why won't GDB work? Have you tried installing the latest GDB?
If that still fails, maybe it is a GDB bug--would you please report
the GDB bug?
Anyway, it is not a bug that Emacs can crash if you print a cyclic
structure with the wrong settings. The question is, why is that
happening? The crucial point for finding the Emacs bug is, what Lisp
program is trying to print something, and why, and why is that object
such as to get an error in printing. For this, it would be useful to
look at the log of output from bootstrapping shortly before the crash.
