I would suggest hooking up a serial or firewire console on this machine 
and logging any output. If nothing relevant turns up, you may wish to try 
and reproduce the problem while running gdb under strace or truss (I am 
not familiar with the status of these programs under AMD64. YMMV) while 
logged at a serial console.
