The only way I know of to debug this sort of thing is to do (x-synchronize t). Then when it crashes, it will crash inside the primitive that is actually responsable for the problem, rather than in whatever unrelated operation happens to come later. If you do this all the time, then the next crash will give useful debugging info. Unfortunately, it will also run somewhat slower. I don't know how much slower. You can try it and see if it is painful.
