You need to get a traceback of the core file (assuming a core file was written) and post the results of that traceback. See http://www.lsoft.com/manuals/lsv-faq.stm#_Toc112814916 for details. My best guess is that you simply ran out of memory, but the traceback would make it more clear. If you have maintenance (and I think you do but I don't have access to that database), I would recommend moving this issue to support so that you can send them unredacted log data for analysis.
