What was I thinking!  There's a simpler semi-automatic method:

1- Compile SableVM with all debug options. e.g.
   ./configure --enable-debugging-features

2- Run SableVM with tracing on;

sablevm -v -p sablevm.verbose.methods=true -p sablevm.verbose.instructions=true HelloWorld

Be ready to see a lot of text.

The thing is that it does give you a pretty good idea of where execution stopped.

You'll be amazed how much code needs to run just to execute HelloWorld. :)

I hope this helps.
