This looks correct.
(gdb) bt full #0 0x180abc22 in gss_delete_sec_context () from /usr/lib/libgssapi.so.8 No symbol table info available. #1 0x08059246 in mech_deinit () No symbol table info available. #2 0x08053f12 in auth_request_handler_unref () No symbol table info available. #3 0x08050bef in auth_client_connection_destroy () No symbol table info available. #4 0x08050ead in auth_client_connection_create () No symbol table info available. #5 0x08065f54 in io_loop_handler_run () No symbol table info available. #6 0x08065605 in io_loop_run () No symbol table info available. #7 0x0805722a in main () No symbol table info available.
But this looks broken unfortunately. Usually it happens if the core file wasn't created by the exact same binary you gave to gdb.
One way to be sure would be to attach gdb to dovecot-auth while it's still running:
gdb /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/dovecot-auth <pid of dovecot-auth> continue <wait for crash> bt full
Also your dovecot-auth doesn't contain debugging information. It would be helpful to have that (make install probably strips them), but maybe not required if I just can get a nonbroken backtrace.
