Yikes...that's scary.

The next step involves running the server under gdb:

cd /where/i/installed/mohaa
gdb ./mohaa_lnxded

This will print:
[bunch of gdb copyright stuff here]

(gdb)


When you get to that "(gdb)" prompt, type "r" and hit return. The server
will start.

Punch in:
g_gametype 1
sv_maxclients 16
map dm/mohdm1

And let the thing crash.

When it does, gdb should report that it has, and put you back at the
"(gdb)" prompt.

Hit "bt" and enter. You should get something like this:

(gdb) bt

(Not that specifically, but gobbeldygook like it.)

Send me that gobbeldygook.

If it says something like "program terminated normally", we've got big
trouble.
