Recompile the seg faulting program with debugging symbols, reproducing the bug.

If you can't reproduce the bug, how can anybody else?

It's better to run optimized binaries normally and when you run into programs
that seg fault, recompile them without *any* optimization flags and -g.  Then
your backtrace will be the most enlightening.
