That's pretty much useless unless you can install debug symbols and
try again. I will say though that this is probably a new bug ---
I don't recall seeing anything crashing in SearchCatCacheList recently.

Please try to create a reproducible test case. One thing you can get to
start from is the query that was being executed --- try this in gdb:

p debug_query_string

If that just gives you a number and not the text of a SQL query, try

p (char *) debug_query_string
