Read and follow the instruction in section 1.4 "Feedback" of the Org manual.
You can probably get it locally through Info - if not locally available,
you can get it online:

    http://orgmode.org/manual/Feedback.html#Feedback

It will tell you how to get a backtrace. It will also point you to the function
org-submit-bug-report that will gather up all sorts of useful information
to help people diagnose the problem.

HTH,
