Please attach a debugger and produce a backtrace, including the Lisp
backtrace (use the "xbacktrace" command for the latter). Thanks.

Find out the PID of the Emacs process, a number. Then:
$ cd /path/to/emacs/src
$ gdb -p PID
Once GDB prints its initial blurb and shows its "(gdb)" prompt, type:
(gdb) bt
If this doesn't end with a Lisp-level backtrace, type:
(gdb) source ./.gdbinit
(gdb) xbacktrace
