This doesn't really make sense.  There's probably some GDB option to get
a longer trace.

If it is crashing at the RET, it means that either code has been mapped
over, or the stack has been corrupted.  At the crash site, what does

  print *(void**)$rsp

print?

  disassemble *(void**)$rsp

could also be interesting.
