I have often seen the problem described by Amante with GDB.

A simple solution is to set a breakpoint on the library
function named "abort" before you start executing the program
being debugged.  Then, when you hit that breakpoint, the
"where" command should still work.  By the time you make it
into abort (or kill) however, the "where" command does in
fact give you only incomplete information.
