bug#24417: 25.1; Emacs crashes during gc

[Sudarshan Gaikaiwari]

Sorry, another (unrelated to emacs) issue caused me to update the
system which resulted in emacs being overwritten by the latest
released version. Because of that gdb is unable to match frames. I am
going to build and install the debug version of the current emacs
release and file an issue if I see a crash again.
