it may be a memory exhausture. Either bearerbox (by looping in the re-connection state) or other processes have been consuming to much memory and the OS would deside on which process to drop silently.

We have a so called 'safe_wrapper' bash script arround the bearerbox that acts mainly the same was as 'safe_mysqld' for mysqld. Whenever bearerbox fails by crashing, the script would create a failure log directory <timestamp> and 'tail -2000' all logs to that failure log directory, so admins can at least try to see what has happened. Usually we have a PANIC in bearerbox that caused to stop. SEGFAULT or other heavy failures are very rare in the past here at Wapme at least.
