The core won't tell you much.  I just experimented with a self-induced
infinite loop and was able to get the command that caused the loop, but
nothing more detailed.  That may steer you in the right direction.  If you
can catch it in the act (unusually long lag), you can attach gdb to it and
ctrl-C will show you exactly where you're stuck.
