Maybe strace(1) can provide some information.  At least it will tell
you which signal killed the process and which files had been opened
before.

It also makes sense to set 

      ulimit -c unlimited

in /etc/bashrc or whatever it is on your system.  This will allow the
system to dump core files of any size.  Note that a value set by root
cannot be increased by a user.

The core file can be loaded into gdb and a stack backtrace will
provide additional information.

Regards,
  Reinhard
