If it isn't Windoze, try with truss or strace. Also dbx or gdb or adb or any other garden variety of a debuggershould be able to print stack trace. In gdb, the command is "t". It will tell you exactly in which routine did it fail. If it is a Windoze box, press crtl-alt-del and blame it on Bill Gates.
