It's simple. Install xscreensaver port with built with debug options. 
Command bellow shoud work in most of the cases (note there is a space 
after STRIP=)
#make CFLAGS="-g -O0" STRIP= install
Then run new xscreensaver binary (restart daemon from xscreensaver-demo 
or relogin). After you get .core file use gdb to get backtrace:
$gdb xscreensaver.core
(gdb)bt full
<some_gdb_output_we_looking_for/>
(gdb)q

All the best,
Alexander.
