bitcoin/bitcoin — Issue #589: bitcoind crashes when logging time data

I'm running version 0.4.0 (observed in 0.3.24 too) on a couple Linux servers. Every 2-3 weeks, the daemon crashes and I have to restart it. In every instance, the last entry in debug.log is one like the following:

Added time data, samples 28503, offset +0 (+0 minutes)
-747598944 -747551416 -747428248 ... -201976 -1940

The daemon crashes while it's printing the list of time samples. In the above example, the median offset was "+0" but "-1940" was the last sample printed.

I haven't noticed any other patterns. Is there any other information I can provide to help narrow down the problem?
