  Run it under valgrind, and re-direct all of the valgrind output to a file.

  If valgrind doesn't help, start with a minimal configuration (i.e. the
default one), and work from there.  The code was scanned for certain
classes of defects by Coverity, but perhaps not all modules were
covered.  If your configuration can be temporarily run from the "users"
file, then I would suggest doing that.

  Then, if it doesn't die, add one more module at a time to the config,
until it does die.  That helps to narrow down the problem, at least.
