No, that's the wrong sequence of actions. You should first start Emacs, visit the TeX file, and cause Emacs to stop responding, and only _then_ attach the debugger to it. If that succeeds to interrupt Emacs and give you the "(gdb)" prompt, then type (gdb) thread apply all bt to produce backtraces from all the threads. If attaching the debugger does NOT succeed in interrupting Emacs, then please try the following alternative: cd /c/LocalApps/Emacs/src gdb ./emacs.exe ... (gdb) set new-console 1 (gdb) r -Q Then visit the TeX file, turn on flyspell-mode, and get Emacs stop responding. Then go to the console window where you typed the above GDB commands, and type Ctrl-C -- this should interrupt Emacs and give you the "(gdb)" prompt. Then type (gdb) thread apply all bt to produce backtraces from all the threads. I hope one of these two methods will succeed in producing a backtrace. Thanks.
