First just see if you can reproduce it, unless it can be reproduced 
gdb monitoring won't help.  If it can't be reproduced, it will be a
tough nut for the developers to figure out as well.

And then this turns into is it worth it?  If this happens very
rarely it might be tough to make the case that it is worth sinking hours
in to investigate further.

Just my 2c.
