What I do is basically:

-----

[ self
codeThatCouldTriggerErrorAndIWantToSaveAContinuationForLaterDebugging ]
on: Error do: [ :ex |

    FaSmalltalkPlatform current saveExceptionContinuation: exception.
]

----

FaGemStonePlatform class >> saveExceptionContinuation: anException
  | continuation action |
  GRPlatform current canDebugInteractively
    ifTrue: [ anException pass ].
  GRPlatform current
    logError: anException description
    title: 'Continuation saved to object log'.
  action := [ :cont |
  continuation := cont.
  #'create' ] callCC.
  action == #'create'
    ifTrue: [
      | logEntry |
      logEntry := WAObjectLogEntry
        error: anException description
        continuation: continuation. "the continuation is not resumable"
      logEntry resumeContinuation.
      logEntry addToLog.
      ^ continuation ].
  action == #'debug'
    ifTrue: [ self halt ]


That uses Grease which I would expect you have it loaded. WAObjectLogEntry
is from Seaside but it's a very stupid subclass. so if you are not using
Seaside you could just copy that class and give it whatever name and put it
in your code.

Once the continuation has been created and stored in the ObjectLog all you
have to do is to connect with tODE and open a debugger on it.

BTW, be sure to cleanup the object log as continuations are heavy:
