You may be able to recreate the problem while running transmission-daemon
as a foreground process (-f), from within egdb:

    $ egdb transmission-daemon
    GNU gdb (GDB) 9.2
    Copyright (C) 2020 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
    License ...
    ....
    Reading symbols from transmission-daemon...
    Reading symbols from /usr/local/bin/.debug/transmission-daemon.dbg...
    (gdb) r -f

If it hangs, return to that terminal window, break execution with
ctrl-C, and then you might be able to debug from there.
