If you can modify application's code (at least the main() entry point) you can register signal handlers for SIGSEGV, SIGABRT (most common causes of program crashes) etc. Do "man signal" for more info. If the program is in other languages then there should be corresponding ways to register these signal handlers.
If you don't have access to source code then only way that I can suggest is running from debugger. If you end up registering your signal handlers - do only little in those signal handlers. It's not a good idea to keep executing once you have corrupted memory - you might run into more ugly errors.
