Unfortunately, AFAIK no. Normally, a time profile would be helpful (in a
time profile the number of calls to a certain function is listed), but in
this case no profile will be generated.

The only thing that I can think of (and the way I usually do this) is to
add tracing statements to your program. However, localizing the error
may take a lot of effort this way.
