I recommend learning how you use gdb. It's not the best debugger in the
world, but it does help a lot (specially since we do not have a large
amount of unit tests). ddd is a fairly good graphical extension, but
it's UI model is like nothing else under the sun.

The likely cause of this problem is where someone has cast a <void*> to
a real type and then tried to read it. You can find more about this
problem here -> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bus_error
