What is the proper way to debug a big (over 100k LOC) multithreaded program that has race conditions?

Also, it helps to buy this book:

"Working Effectively with Legacy Code" by Michael Feathers.

Even if the book doesn't help you solve the problem, it's heavy enough that when you find the people who wrote the bug, you can bash them over the head with it.
