You can uncomment the io:fwrite/2 call in the following function at the
beginning of beam_trim.erl

function({function,Name,Arity,CLabel,Is0}) ->
    %%ok = io:fwrite("~w: ~p\n", [?LINE,{Name,Arity}]),
    St = #st{safe=safe_labels(Is0, []),lbl=beam_utils:index_labels(Is0)},
    Is = trim(Is0, St, []),
    {function,Name,Arity,CLabel,Is}.

to printout the name of the offending function.

If you can identify the offending function and provide a smaller core file,
I can have a look.

No.
