   On the windows platform, perhaps windbg (google debugging tools for   
   windows) could be of use. Especially, I think that adplus in hang mode   
   could be helpfull. (Windbg has a rather steep learning curve   
   though. See below also :)).

   Unfortunately I haven't had the pleasure of debugging generated x86   
   code (but other generators).   
      
   Kind regards,
