I'm trying to debug an emacs crash and am having trouble getting a useful backtrace after the crash. Here's an example:

#0  0x00289c08 in ?? ()
No symbol table info available.
#1  0x007ba148 in _malloc_mutex ()
No symbol table info available.
#2  0x00000000 in ?? ()
No symbol table info available.

Aside from the lack of information, the most salient feature of this is that _malloc_mutex is actually a variable, not a function, so the information for frame #1 makes no sense.

I'm not very experienced at debugging, but I'm wondering if I can get anything out of this sort of backtrace. Or does it just indicate that the stack got corrupted?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Ken
