Try Valgrind to help you detect errors. It makes many invisible errors 
visible, and tends to often pinpoint the real cause, instead of the final 
consequence. But not all the time (because that's not possible in C/C++). 
Then you can cut out the relevant part from the Valgrind report (Invalid 
Read or Invalid Write) and include it in the bug report. But it only works 
with builds that include debugging-symbols (I don't know which ones those 
are).
