 * recompile the wpasupplicant package with the environment
   DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS="nostrip"

 * Start a shell and issue 'ulimit -c unlimited'. 

 * Run wpasupplicant from hand in the same shell with correct
   parameters. 

 * If the problem reappears, send it a abort signal like this: 
   'kill -6 `pidof wpa_supplicant`'

 * a file 'core' should be created in the current directory

 * run gdb: 'gdb /sbin/wpa_supplicant core'

 * create a backtrace: 'bt'

Attach that output.
