In the shell, with cwd the src directory of the emacs build tree, I
entered `gdb ./emacs' and at the gdb prompt: r -Q -xrm
"emacs.synchronous: true".  In Emacs I invoked xwidget-webkit-browse-url
as above and gdb stopped execution.  I've again attached the output of
`bt full', though to my layman's eye it looks, modulo addresses,
essentially identical to the backtrace I with `r -Q'.  I can try some of
the other suggestions given in etc/DEBUG, though I really don't know
what I'm doing so would welcome more targeted suggestions, if possible.
