        #11 0x00000000 in ?? ()
        No symbol table info available.
        (gdb)

    This is the part of the backtrace that ought to give the information,
    and it is garbled.

    What happens if you put a breakpoint at x_connection_closed?  That
    will stop earlier.  Is the backtrace complete at that point?

The backtrace does not show an address of 0x00000000.  In any case, I
don't know what is going on.  What should I do next?
