Compile with -ggdb flag.

  ulimit -c unlimitied

Let it crash.

  gdb PROGRAM_EXECUTABLE CORE_FILE
  bt

Details: http://sourceware.org/gdb/current/onlinedocs/gdb_toc.html

However, to see the stack trace dump on bad memory accesses,
it is easier to just run the program under valgrind, an
addition you will see also those that do not cause an
immediate segmentation fault.
