So where are the 14184 intermediate call levels?

If that's actually accurate and not a symptom of gdb being confused,
it's reasonable to guess that something went into infinite recursion
and the segfault occurred when it ran out of stack space. But there's
no evidence here to suggest what that was. Have you got any
potentially-recursive C or Perl or Python functions? Because the system
ought to notice when it's getting into recursion trouble with any
higher-level code.
