First, I try to log every step of the buggy method into a log file (especially when it is on a production server).
Then I take an abstract look at the method design, to make sure I don't have any design gotchas.
Then, I retrace the call and check the platform/plugin details (if for example it is a plugin that is used in a mobile app).
