Debuging using core dump and PC

I'm trying to debug my application which is crashing at unknown
location .
In case of normal crash , i can trace the instruction due to which
program crashes using
PC (program counter) printed by OS at the time of crash.
For which i use "gdb exename corefile".
But in this case my program crashes with PC=0x000000 ,
so that I could not trace the instruction due to which program is
crashing .
So Please Suggest me some steps/way using which i can trace instruction
due to which Application
is crashing .
Thanks in advance .

Regards,
Yogesh D.
