`backtrace` in gdb will tell you where the exception originates from,
`frame #` and `list`, `print`, etc. will let you inspect the code and
variables at the call site.

Compile with -g, otherwise you won't get debug symbols or line
numbers. That's `./configure --debug && make` with v0.6, `make
BUILDTYPE=Debug` with master.
