How to determine which permission is being requested?

Dear all!

I'm writing a program which is supposed to be ran from a network share, and
thus will have an evidence with a security zone set to "intranet".
Everything works just fine when I set Inranet permissions to "full trust",
but when I reduce a number of permissions to something lower (even
"Everything"), a SecurityException rises at different locations. For
example, these pieces of code fail independently:
...
new TcpChannel( 0 );
...
System.Diagnostics.Process.GetCurrentProcess();
...

SecurityException class being thrown doesn't contain any additional
information. Neither PermView shows no attribute-level security guards on
those methods, nor ILDASM doesn't inidicate any special checks nor naughty
code inside those methods.

Has anybody come accross with such mishaps? If yes, is there a way to
determine which permissions are being required by some piece of code?

I'm running .NET Framework 1.0 SP2.
