You’ve had a few answers already, but just to add one more:

SelectionDAG has a viewGraph family of methods, that will dump a .dot file and open it with GraphViz.  These can be run from the debugger and produce *much* more readable output.  When I’m debugging, I generally stick a breakpoint on the code that’s triggering this error and get the pretty picture to try to figure out what’s going on.  It’s a lot easier to understand for nontrivial examples.
