The first thing to do in a situation like this is start up the offending 
program from a console window.  Often, strong hints of the nature of the 
problem will be printed to <stdout> or <errout>, both of which are normally 
/dev/null-ed if there is no console to print it out to, and no redirection of 
said file identifiers to actual files, on the command line.

See if that helps.
