Core dumps are your friends (though most linux distros turn them off by 
default now).  That and compiling your code with symbols, and debugging 
enabled.  I rather enjoy (ok, I really don't) pulling up crashed 
binaries, loading up the core, and walking the stack backwards to see 
the real reason for the crash.

Oddly enough I am doing that now for an MPI code (sigh).
