I suggest you provide more detail.....

Like: What your machine is, what peripherals it uses, what
adaptor cards it has, what software it uses etc. etc.  Do
the same for a few of the machines on which the software
does work. (Pay particular attention to floating-point coprocessors).

Like: what the software is, what is the series of events leading
up to the error.

In the meantime: think about what makes your machine different from
the others.  Could you make it more similar?  If you do, does the problem
persist?  Are you absolutely positively sure that this is the *only* machine
that gives a problem?  What versions of software is your machine running. ?
What are the others running?  Are you (or they) running special debug 
versions of anything.  How about beta versions?

about 20 mins.  After hanging up, he took out a Bugrep form and wrote.....
well, I'll leave you to guess that part)
