Starting ratpoison under gdb would help.  What I do is put a terminal
emulator in my .xinitrc so that X starts up w/o a wm.  Then from
another machine I start ratpoison through gdb (after rebuilding
ratpoison with gcc -g).  When ratpoison crashes, I can go to my other
terminal and get a backtrace and see where it croaked.

Sending us the backtrace would be helpful.  Or finding a reliable way
to reproduce the bug/crash.
