So, I had a longer look at GDB. To my mind, this won't work, if I'm not
overlooking something.

What really might be a good idea, is to insert the errorF() calls in some
prominent funtions, just to identify, in what function the freeze happens.

With a reconfigured syslogd, one could broadcast the messages and log them on
another computer on the net, so that all messages are logged for sure and won't
get lost if there is no time left for a sync.

What would be necessary, would be some educated guess from the developers what
functions are good candidates, in which such errorF() calls should be inserted.
I have no chance to understand the code and to identify places where such calls
would make sense for this debug approach.

Would anyone who understands the code be interested in helping in this approach?

Cheers,
