You can get this information using the 'ooef' utility.

For example,
   ooef src/Test.Mod 171

This gives you the source code context (the default behaviour, also 
available via the --context switch). If you just want to know the line 
and column you can do:
   ooef --linecol src/Test.Mod 171

Hope this helps.

Cheers,
