When the GC seems to be involved what it typically means that there's
a memory corruption somewhere. The only reason why the GC gets involved is
because the GC traverses all your memory, so it basically does (as a side
effect) some kind of sanity check, so memory corruption is usually detected
during GC.
I would guess that means that studying the backtrace would not be
terribly useful in this case, since the corruption could have happened
anywhere. I know how to use GDB, but I do not have that much
experience debugging an aborting Emacs with GDB. I have a live
process around.
The bug is of course not necessarily in Tramp, but could be in any of
the machinery used by Tramp. I get crashes using Tramp with ssh the
entire time. I have never observed a crash using an external transfer
method, like scp (although I tried), so en/decoding seems a likely
culprit. I get strange error messages about invalid base64 data.
Sincerely,
Luc.
