Have you got the core file?
If so you should be able to use gdb to examine the stack trace 
or at least the register dump. It should provide a clue as to which 
function of which process was at fault, and tell you the input parameters 
at the time of crash. If you have it, you might find adb useful too. 
But I don't know if Debian Linux has an adb...
