Hi, I don't use and compile pan any more, so my advice is very generic
as old school guys do. Pan code is c++, so it can be debugged by gdb.
Look gdb manual how to use it. Basic case is "gdb <program>", where
<program is compiled pan. Pan should be compiled for debugging, which
means that source code is added, so when pan crashes, you get line info
where in code it does so.

For testing your need a test case. In test case the is a list of steps
described how to reach the problem.
