get an actual gdb backtrace. in fact... run enlightenment under valgrind. yes
i'll be slow! use:

E_START=1 valgrind --tool=memcheck --db-attach=yes --num-callers=32
--show-reachable=no
--read-var-info=yes --leak-check=yes --leak-resolution=high
--undef-value-errors=yes --track-origins=yes enlightenment

of course u'll need a bare xserver that u have permission to display on and
DISPLAY set accordingly.
