If the program was compiled with -g, then using:

$ dbx /path/to/executable /path/to/core
dbx> where


produces a trace of the depth within the program at the time of the crash.

If you don't have dbx, sdb or gdb have similar commands.  If you don't
have any of these, you have to find out for your OS and compiler the
name of the debugger that is available.
