Okay, this isn't the server actually taking 100% of the CPU (almost
certainly), it's before that.  If you type 'cont' to resume, and then ^C
the gdb process once the CPU goes wild, you should break back to the gdb
prompt; _that_'s the backtrace I need.

Of course, you might not, in which case debugging this gets a bit
harder.
