Perhaps doing M-x set-variable RET debug-on-signal RET t would help with
that?

I use fetchmail piped to procmail *outside* of Emacs, and have procmail
split my mail into separate groups, so I'm not using an Emacs-related
program, but from recent reading of the Gnus Info (I just last week set
all this up under Gnus 5.10), I think that the default program is
supplied by Emacs, and called 'movemail', oddly enough ;-). If you are
on an *nix box, 'which movemail' or 'locate movemail' might help.
However, IIRC, Emacs 'movemail' gets from the local *nix spool file and
outputs in RMAIL format - dunno if that is what you wanted, or if
movemail can be persuaded to output into a different format.
According to 'C-h f':
(------------ snip! ------------------)
mail-source-movemail-program's value is nil
Documentation:
If non-nil, name of program for fetching new mail.
You can customize this variable.
Defined in `mail-source'.
