Do you have the debuginfo or debug symbol of those modules? Then maybe
you can use SystemTap....

First of all, you have to ask to yourself "why can I found it earlier
on the development server?" lack of stress test? lack of test cases?

Secondly, suppose it is a newly found bug...likely a corner case
bug..... Then before you debug it, if I were you, I will activate
(read: make it the master production) backup server first. Update it
with latest data from current master production. Hopefully ...and it's
a must nowadays I guess...you already prepare somekind of High
Availability setup between those servers.

And then? Same like you debug your casual user space programs. So I
ask you back, how do you usually do that such job?
