It seems that some demand from this is appearing from other places as
well, so it will make its way higher on my priority list. There is
another feature wanted for the next KfW release (better screen reader
support), so the ETA is still measured in months; I would ballpark 2
months until a beta release, but that is a very rough estimate and could
change a lot.

Most of the debugging flags are set at compile time. The KRB5_TRACE
environment variable does work (as on Unix krb5), but I don't expect it to
provide any useful output for this situation.
Debugging runtime crashes is usually easiest with the help of a debugger,
but the release versions do not include debugging symbols. If you want
have visual studio around and want to try, I can see about sending the
debug symbols to you.
