Does the GDB command "info symbol 0x08554f28" display something
useful?  Also try "print/a 0x08554f28".

I agree with Andreas that putting a watchpoint on Qnil's address and
on its obarray entry (and on any other places thru which Qnil can be
modified) is the best strategy, given the data you've gather so far.
