Currently AIX is not one of the platforms that we develop on or support, the lack of access for one makes it difficult to test. The CPP client doesn't register any atexit functions.
We welcome patches so if you find a solution we'd love to know. If you can capture a backtrace from the crash we can take a look and see if there's anything that sticks out. Regards Tim.
