What do you mean, exactly? What is missing? As far as I can tell, I've
followed the instructions here:
http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Debugging

I did a make distclean, ran configure with ---compile-type=debug, then
a make and make install, made sure everything was stopped, then
restarted the backend. I just double checked my command history and
that is indeed what I did.

I set it to dump a core. I ran the core through gdb and generated the
backtrace. If you look in the first log, you can see that there is
debug info for myth with line numbers. Why the 2nd and 3rd logs have
so little info in it, I have no idea, but I followed the same
instructions I used to generate the first log. I didn't think you'd
need the dozens of

lines, so I omitted them. If you can tell me what I did wrong, I'd be
more than happy to retry.
