If there are *.core files, use those to analyze the crash. If not, follow the instructions in the handbook to debug the crash via serial port. Try running IPFilter in verbose mode if it has it, possibly it can be compiled with debugging output. Mainly, gather as much info as possible before submitting a PR, it'll get things fixed faster.
