This does indicate some sort of bad memory access by bbtest-net.
Unfortunately, it doesn't provide much clue about what caused this
problem.

Since it's glibc, I suppose it's on an Intel-based system ? In that
case, it would be helpful if you could pick up the "Valgrind" utility; 
it is included in some Linux distributions, but you can also grab it
from valgrind.org. Once you have it, you can run bbtest-net with the
command

   valgrind --log-file=vlg.log bbtest-net [any bbtest-net options]

If there's a memory access error, it should catch it right away.
I'd be interested to see the logfile it produces.
