It would still be nice to know what's going on here, if possible.

Mark, do you not see anything in BosLog (or BosLog.old, etc) when this
happens? There should be a panic string somewhere that says specifically
why we're aborting. And could you do this after configuring with
--enable-debug ?

No, that file should be fine across any platform and architecture we run
on.

That's a little odd, since that crash is at a much lower level than
which RPC you're running. It may just have to do with how much data is
involved going over the wire for the command. It might be interesting to
see if "bos getlog" also crashes, if you try it on a log that has a
bunch of stuff in it.
