   Both the core file and running seamonkey from inside gdb and make it   
   crash should allow you to obtain a backtrace ("bt full", I think), but   
   getting a more meaningful backtrace requires debugging symbols.   
      
   That's probably less of an issue for official builds from the SeaMonkey   
   project, but if your build is from another source (you built it or it   
   was packaged by your distribution), you'll need to get the debugging   
   symbols for that.
