I'm not on a Mac and don't have access to one, so this is a stab in the dark
but:

Can you invoke it from a shell and see it it coughs up anything useful to the
command line?

And now for the truly bizarre idea: are there any GUI automation tools for
the Mac that can see a window has come up and send it Alt-/ immediately just
in case it can give you an error console before it dies?  Throwing the nearest
thing to hand at google gives me hints about a thing called automator

http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/300.html#automator

which might be able to do this, but I've not read far enough to find out.
Referenced from:

http://the.taoofmac.com/space/apps/Automator

which says it is rather limited, which may have changed, or not.
