"bt" to generate a backtrace under gdb (although without symbols,
the output probably isn't going to mean much).  Another method
would be to strace the executable (e.g. - "strace /bin/ls"), capture
the (voluminous) output, and see what it's doing when it dies.

Bugger.  I don't know what the FreeBSD equivalent of strace is.
Hopefully, "strace".  :-)
