Oh, and to find the function you could either go into /api-doc/ and search for it which should tell you which file it comes from or do something like
grep -r category_synonym::search_sweeper *
in the packages directory.

I guess the real trick is knowing how to read the traceback; in this case you look for the first function down the list which is not in the db API (the db API might have a few bugs but the vast majority of problems like this are in the query itself not in the db API so that's the place to start).
