This is not really an exact answer to your question... :)
It seems you want to output trace information. Stdout (which seems you
are using) is not thread safe and will generate AV/segf if accessed
concurrently.
Specially for printing trace info, there is
tango.util.log.Trace
it is a Stdout replacement that is synchronized, and it also has a
memory() function, that lets you print raw memory as a dump.
