I find it odd that the debugger is being invoked. It should print a
message saying stumpwm crashed along with the error and a backtrace,
and instructions on how to put the backtrace in your kill ring so you
can paste it into an email.

Do you build an executable and run it from your xinitrc file? Once you
can post a backtrace it should be an easy fix.
