Well, there are basically two routes to take. One is to use ms vc++'s built
in debugger and the other is to pRequest->Write useful information to the
html page as the tag executes (ie, "we got this far" and "the variable
is..." type messages).
For most things where you're just trying to get an alg ironed out the later
is fine. In your case, where the tag is actually crashing, then I'd say
using the debugger is probably the better idea. Instructions on how to set
up the debugger are in the cf docs. If they've never used a debugger before
or know assembly it might get a bit hairy though.
