Try running a small program using the library in valgrind. The output
should provide you with some hints. GDB (like Florian suggested) is also
an option but, personally, I find valgrind a bit more convenient for
such first quick checks. It also flags invalid memory accesses that do
not cause your program to get killed.

If valgrind turns out to be unusably slow, you might also try to build
with ASan/AddressSanitizer enabled. Search the web for more info.
