I assume you don't have the source to the .dll? If you do, you can add a line to use debug the error using System.Diagnostics.Debugger.Break():

It is possible for me to use the dll with ironpython, but I fail to use it with python for .NET (CLR 4.0). (And I would like to use e.g. numpy as well, so I need python for .NET). Below follow a short test script, the python / ironpython versions and their console output when running the test script. Any hints are welcome.
