Backtrace stopped: previous frame identical to this frame (corrupt stack?)

I am having an application with 16 Thread in ARM board running Linux. My
problem crashed (Segmentation Fault) and I got the core dump. I was
analyzing it and found out I was getting "Backtrace stopped: previous frame
identical to this frame (corrupt stack?)" message for each of the thread
except the "main" thread.

I have posted backtrace of "main", thread that caused SEGV FAULT and a
thread which was working fine.

1. I want to know why this message is coming up? What does this mean?
One possibility is corrupt stack but what other times it can show up?
Recursive function call?
2. I am not sure how to get more information from Thread 1. I want to know
which function has called "curl_easy_perform". I want to get complete
backtrace of Thread 1. I tried to "set $sp = " but looks like I can't
modify the SP. I want someone to help with an article to unstack my Thread
1 further. Please advise.
