Bug#639200: The debug log

[Andy Spencer]

Thanks for the screenshots and logs, it looks like it must be
deadlocking somewhere while drawing the screen, but I haven't been able
to figure out exactly where.

Could you try obtaining a backtrace while it's frozen? If you haven't
done that before, the steps are:
 
  1. Install gdb
 
     $ apt-get install gdb
 
  2. Run aweather in gdb
     
     $ gdb aweather
     (gdb) run
  
  3. Wait for aweather to freeze up
 
  4. Press Ctrl-C in gdb to interrupt the aweather process
 
  5. Print the thread backtraces
 
     (gdb) thread apply all backtrace
