If you could describe the configuration neccessary to allow for telnet
connetions (so eg. I wouldn't need to RTFM:-) we'd probably have a
try.

First hints:

  - Use strace or truss to get a syscall-level trace
  - Use ltrace to get a libcall-leevel trace
  - Use GDB. (Start simh as usual, then attach gdb, then telnet into
    it. When it dies, gdb should automatically point you to where it
    happened. Use the "bt" command to retrieve the call stack.)
