Looks like failing memory allocation.  After that openmcl tries to
print error message and exit.  But maybe things are so horribly
broken that calls go to different functions.  I would suggest
using 'strace'.  If at end of dump you see call to mmap, then
you may get some info.  If not, things got messed up earlier.

To debug this you need almost no C knowledge, you need to work
at assebler level.  Anyway, to go forward you need somebody more
familiar with Openmcl (I worked on runtimes for other systems,
but not on Openmcl).
