No, I think this is a mistake.  You should first start screen, then
start GDB from that like this:

  gdb emacs

Then when GDB shows its prompt, type

  (gdb) break x_error_quitter
  (gdb) run  --user admin --chdir /home/data1/protected

(The "(gdb)" part is the GDB prompt, you don't need to type it.)
And then continue as you usually would:

If you start Emacs as above, you should see GDB take control when the
problem happens.  Then type

  (gdb) thread apply all bt

and post here everything it displays.
