Thanks for testing.  I'll try to make debugging symbols available so 
that you can get a better backtrace.  It might be a few days before I 
get to it.

Do you have a recipe that will reliably produce a segfault for you? 
I've been using emacs-24 for months without any problems (as long as I 
build without gsettings support, as I did for emacs-24.0.96-1).  But I 
haven't tested gdb-mi for a while.

You said you got segfaults even while not using gdb-mi.  But did you get 
segfaults in an emacs session in which you didn't use gdb-mi at all in 
the entire session?
