Yes, debuggers like adb, dbx and gdb can take a core dump or running process, or run a process. They can tell you what the calls down to the failing subroutine are.
You can also run it under 'strace' with very nosy options to get a list of all system calls up to the end. It will show any missed logging, failing calls.

GCORE(1) GNU Development Tools GCORE(1)
NAME
gcore - Generate a core file of a running program
SYNOPSIS
gcore [-o filename] pid
DESCRIPTION
Generate a core dump of a running program with process ID pid. Produced file is equivalent to a kernel produced core file as if the
process crashed (and if "ulimit -c" were used to set up an appropriate core dump limit). Unlike after a crash, after gcore the program
remains running without any change.
OPTIONS
-o filename
The optional argument filename specifies the file name where to put the core dump. If not specified, the file name defaults to
core.pid, where pid is the running program process ID.

The full documentation for GDB is maintained as a Texinfo manual. If the "info" and "gdb" programs and GDB's Texinfo documentation are
properly installed at your site, the command
info gdb
should give you access to the complete manual.
