Actually the way I found that works on OSX is to turn GDB on _before_ the
crash happens. You can do this either by first starting GDB and then
running Pd inside of it (e.g.: commands "file", "run"), or by running Pd
first and then giving its PID to GDB (the --pid switch or the "attach"
command or whatever)

I don't recall having luck with coredumps (but I'm not completely sure)

(note: I'm running OSX 10.2.8)
