The gdb log seems to be missing any backtrace. You actually need to
stop the program somehow to get a backtrace--that means either crash it,
or interrupt it (with Ctrl-C) when it's locked up or doing whatever is
wrong, or set a breakpoint in gdb if you know exactly where you want it
to stop.
http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Debugging#Executing_the_application_under_gdb
"When the application crashes or is terminated, gdb will automatically
output a backtrace to the file |gdb.txt| in the current working
directory. If the MythTV program appears to be locked up and does not
crash, press CTRL-C to create the backtrace file."
(Ctrl-C also applies when it's not locked, but is doing whatever it
shouldn't be doing)
As far as posting the logs, you can either a) post to a site that
doesn't have the file size limits that mailing lists have (such as
dropbox or google docs or some pastebin or something) and then provide a
link in your e-mail or b) compress the files before sending the e-mail.
Ideally, you'll post somewhere else (rather than compressing and sending
as an attachment) where people can access the content without having to
download a file, save it, uncompress it, then open it to look.
