Hello,

You can re-compile Awesome with the -fsanitize=address CFLAGS (export
CFLAGS="$CFLAGS -fsanitize=address -ggdb"), Watch out, you have to
clean the compilation directory/files first. This will print some
useful information if awesome really crash (rather than quit by
itself). You can also wrap the awesome command in gdb one, but that's
more tricky than it seem (you have to use the python API to catch
useful events, too much trouble).
