There's a simple recipe for it: compile your kernel with DDB, and
reboot into single-user (with the disks read/only).  Then, try the
offending command and see whether it also crashes here.

If so, your debugger has been called, and you can analyze the bug.

(Or what do you think how others analyze the problems? :)
