What about the function before the '??'.   That will probably give you a 
clue as to where the problem is occurring.

Recompile them with the -g debugging option enabled.  (I am guessing that
they were compiled without it, at least in the environment that you are using).

Sadly I do not believe that such an option exists.  You can however capture
the command line being used to invoke the plugin, and then just replay it
with the plugin options removed.

I do not think that such a document exists.  The only real recourse is to
read the source code for each of them, and compare how they work.

Cheers
