Typing "bt" is the same as typing "backtrace", yes? Once GIMP segfaults, 
I can't type anything into the terminal where gdb is running. 
Fortunately I can open a new tab (tabbed terminal) and close the whole 
window using "File/Close Window". Otherwise nothing much works correctly 
until gdb is shut down.

gdb said there wasn't such a thing available. Should I recompile GIMP 
using different options more suited for debugging? I'm not sure what 
those options would be, so a list would help.
