Do you mean that it causes a segmentation fault, or just that it slows down
the machine to such an extent as to make interaction impossible? If it's a
segfault, you'll need to rebuild BRLTTY (preferably the latest version from
svn) with debug symbols enabled and obtain a backtrace from gdb.

There's a new 2.6.38 kernel in Debian now, too.

Strace may also help, as you suggested.

I don't have any other suggestions, but there are experts on the list and you
may need to take it up with Debian or the kernel community.
