>From the stack trace it looks like malloc() is trying to print some
diagnostics (malloc_printerr()) which itself leads to some kind of
error. Some ideas:

1. Could it be that writing to STDERR leads to an abort()? E.g., it is
   a daemon with nothing attached to STDERR.

2. Could it be that you are running out of memory and even the diagnostics
   printing can't be done?

3. It could be that the heap is corrupt though I would expect malloc() to
   still succeed in printing the diagnostics. 

Could you load the debug symbols for libc.so.6 (not sure how this is done
on CentOS), so that we get more information?
