Comment(by nickm):

 ok.  So the idea is to make Tor produce a core dump file when it crashes,
 then use gdb to extract a stack trace from that core dump.

 It's easiest to get a core dump if you're not running it as a service: if
 you can this crash from the command line, that'll be easiest.  To get a
 core dump, run "ulimit -c unlimited" in bash before you start Tor.
 (That's "unlimit coredumpsize" if you use tcsh.)  Then after Tor crashes,
 it should produce a core file.  ''Don't send us the core file'' -- it has
 keys and sensitive data in it.  Just run "gdb TOR CORE" where TOR is the
 path to your Tor executable, and CORE is a path to the core file.  gdb
 will load the core.  To get a stack trace, say "bt".  gdb will print a
 back trace.  Copy this verbatim into the bug report.
