I think it would be very useful to get more information out of a segfault 
while Sage is running. To this end I've extended the crash handler 
("Unhandled SIGSEGV: A segmentation fault occurred in Sage...") to attach 
gdb and extract more information. With these changes you'd get Python or 
Cython source level listing and not just a C level backtrace. Patches are 
at #13889 + #13881. I think this would make bugreports from non-technical 
users much more useful. A review would be appreciated ;-)

An example automatted stack trace is here:
