Hmm. Well, the list of frame 0 is making me wonder if there was a crash caused by copyover while the dream_append function is processing. At least, that's what it looks like from this. The dream_append functions looks fine and following the tree of program flow that gdb is showing you the next step was into the string processing libraries.
Another question I have is when did you start to notice the problem? Was it recently? Have you just added anything that affects the string processing, dream or prompt functions recently? If you have, I'd pay some attention to those functions.
