I'd appreciate any advice on how to go about analyzing this and finding a solution. thanks.
If you have the cores from them try running gdb on the core to find out where it was when it died. It's still possible you ran out of stack depending on how much that patch added. I normally only make the stack about 128k per thread on BSD, and its possible that is a bit small. Bus errors imply that data to a system call was incorrect (not properly aligned, not mapped, etc).
