If you have the developer tools installed, look for an application  
called CrashReporterPrefs (mine's in /Developer/Applications/ 
Utilities/CrashReporterPrefs.app; you could use spotlight to find  
yours), and run it.  It will let you choose a `Developer' option for  
the crash reporter, that includes the option to try attaching to the  
crashed process.

Once inside gdb, you'll need the emacs-specific stuff for gdb.  If  
gdb doesn't pick it up automatically, cd into `src' inside your emacs  
build tree (inside gdb; for me it's ``cd /usr/local/src/emacs/src'')  
and source the gdb macros there (``source .gdbinit'').  This will  
make `xbacktrace' (and a bunch of other stuff) available inside gdb.

I'll try this myself, once my own build finishes (my PPC laptop isn't  
the fastest thing ever to `make bootstrap' anymore).  Until then, I  
hope this helps.
