Why not use gdb to set breakpoints and step through the code?  That's what
Pierre Humblet and I did to find the crashing and freezing bugs.

First launch gdb with the graphical environment:
gdb XWin

Within gdb, open the console (Ctrl+N):
break Function1
break Function2
run -screen 0 640x480x16 -from foo.host.org -query bar.host.org

Start stepping with (S) or nexting with (N) when you reach a breakpoint.

Okay okay, you guys probably already knew how to do this, but I felt like
writing it down somewhere for my own and other's reference :)
