Sounds like a seg fault/core dump.  Next time, run it from a command line,
look at the return value (echo $? in bash).  I think there are some bugs
in the libc6 (well I guess there are always bugs), which periodically
causes problems.  But all in all, I think it's pretty stable.

Good luck,
Brandon
