bug#68755: 29.2; Emacs crashes repeatedly after some steps

Hmm this is interesting.

1. It only crashes when I run it under git-bash and the exact command line is "emacs -nw".

2. The command thread apply all bt seems to do nothing, only writes prompt "(gdb)"

3. It does not matter if I press "yes" or "no" in the message box that pops up.
So confused...

Hello,

It is very difficult. If I attach the debugger, whole system seems to be
very unresponsive, at least from screen reader's point of view.

Can you provide me more details about how to do it?
Yes:

   . start Emacs from a Command prompt window like this:

       gdb emacs

   . this will show the GDB prompt "(gdb)".  Type "run" (without the
     quotes) to run Emacs under GDB.

   . when Emacs starts up, do whatever you need to cause Emacs crash

   . when Emacs crashes, you will see the "(gdb)" prompt in the Command
     prompt window where you started Emacs under GDB.  Type at that
     prompt:

       thread apply all bt

   . GDB will show the backtrace; copy/paste it into your email reply
     to this message, and send your email rely

If I don't bother with the debugger, and press "No" button in the
messagebox that pops up a "emacs_backtrace.txt" is generated.

Is that sufficient? If not then I need more information about capturing
the backtrace.
The file emacs_backtrace.txt can only be interpreted on your system,
since the program which converts the addresses to file names and
function names needs to read the emacs.exe file on your system.  So it
is much less useful for us than a backtrace generated by GDB.
