You are doing very well! It was just my sloppy explanation. Sorry about 
that.

As others have said, in the gdb you should type:

(gdb) run
[trigger the crash]
(gdb) bt
[you should get a long report, press <enter> several times if necessary 
and copy the terminal contents to the email]
(gdb) quit

Thanks,

Andrzej
