You can still get a stack trace even if the program hasn't been compiled
with debug information, so you can still run it in a debugger and look at
where it crashes (respectively just start the debugger from the crash
dialog). If that is in media kit code, you can build that with debug info
and get even more information. If the stack trace of the point of the crash
doesn't help you further, printf()s might be the best option.
