No point in sending it to me, it's of no value on a different machine
(because the executable files are usually not identical).

Hm. I'm afraid gdb is lying to you, because this stack trace is
impossible -- those functions don't call each other. I have seen
that happen when the compiler optimization level is too high; gdb's
stack tracing code gets confused. To get any useful information,
you'll need to rebuild with debug symbols enabled (--enable-debug
switch to configure).
