Well, the -s should cause gdb to ignore the signal and just pass it to Bacula, 
which in turn ignores it.

If you are running Bacula 5.0.2, in 99% of the cases, you will find the 
traceback and the bactrace files in your working directory when Bacula is not 
run under the debugger and it crashes.

If you are running a 3.0.x or older version, you will need a support contract 
if you want us to look at the problem ...
