Assuming the chkconfig binary contains debugging information -- run 'file
chkconfig' and hope that it says 'not stripped' -- you can use gdb, the binary
and the core file.
Run 'gdb /sbin/chkconfig core' and then 'bt' inside gdb will show you a
backtrace of the point at which it crashed, for example.
