My intuition tells me that this is a libstdc++ bug.  I trapped the crash in 
valgrind and it was doing a 4 byte write 0 bytes past an allocation of 0 
bytes.  The memory was allocated in the STL memory pools (looked like by a 
map somewhere).  So, I ran it again after setting the environment variable 
GLIBCXX_FORCE_NEW=1 and I haven't yet been able to reproduce the crash.  

Does this analysis sound reasonable?
