For general information on how to debug PLI application, 
look into: 
   http://www.angelfire.com/ca/verilog/debug1.html

Most likely, you have an error (memory fault, bus error, 
segmentation fault etc.) at the last location that is 
causing the program to terminate. Note that, your 
last location may contain a function call and the error 
may be heppening inside the function. Try setting up 
breakpoints. 

In general, I found xxgdb to be more user friendly in 
this type of situation.
