Gdb and stopping at assert or segmentation faults

I think what you're saying is that if I do this, it will launch gdb on the
crash? Ok.

However, what I was saying is that I would like to be able to backtrace when
I launch a program from within gdb:

Gdb myprog
Run
<assert or segmentation fault>
Info stack

Ok. That's useful as well. Thanks!
