First, if it doesn't work see if there are any resource limits set:
ulimit -a.

Second, to run jmousetrap under GDB you'd do this:

 $ JAVASWARMGDB=gdb javaswarm StartMousetrap
 (gdb) run

There will be a few dozen thread-related and shared-library stops, but
just keep runing `c' (continue) until you get the crash.  Then do a `bt'.

Finally, it is often easier to debug crashes like this using Kaffe than
with Sun JDK because you can have debugging symbols for the JVM itself. 
Kaffe allocates less threads and does less dynamic linking activity, which
makes it less confusing getting started in GDB.  It isn't unheard of to
see some crashes only in Sun JDK -- switching to Kaffe might be sufficient.
