Try generating a core file while running it normally, but set the
ulimit for core files to be unlimited before running it:
ulimit -c unlimited
When the program crashes, it will generate a core file, then start gdb
with the core file:
gdb <path to mythbackend or frontend> corefile
You can get backtraces and stuff here.
