You need
$ SET ACCOUNTING /ENABLE=IMAGE
But you can also (I don't have access to a VAX, n Eisner, an Alpha system):

Here's your "Executing run sys$system:decw$wsinit". Assuming the command procedures on VAX are similar: edit DECW$STARTSM.COM and add a "$ set process/dump" before the "write".
You should get a process dump of the image with the ACCVIO (probably decw$wsinit) in the current working directory. I don't know where that is. It depends on whether the decw$ command procedures changed it or not. The dump file is <image-name>.DMP. Usually you do an analyze/process <dump-file> to look at the dump. At least on Alpha(Eisner) analyze/crash works as well.
The minimum of information you get should be the name of the image, as in <image-name>.DMP. Without the sources and map files you may get some hints but you may not get enough information to identify and/or work around the problem.
And yes, sys$system:decw$wsinit (at least on Eisner) is linked with /notraceback so you only get a register dump and no information on the call frames.
