I might be wrong, but I think you can interrupt the hanging application in
GDB by pressing CTRL+C, and then obtain the backtrace in the usual fashion
after you have interrupted the application. The subsequent backtrace might
then give an idea about what the application was doing at the moment you
interrupted it.
