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).
