Two things you can do:

- Open the core file in a debugger and get a stack trace.

- Try to reproduce the problem on a smaller set of files or with simpler
options, etc., until you find a minimal case that fails.  This may shed
light on what is causing the problem.  If the same minimal case fails on
another machine, that is probably grounds to file a bug.
