I worked with Dave on this a bit.. had no luck getting bro to dump a core, but then I realized that the tcmalloc log line WAS the stack trace.  Still working on getting a real core dump, but this is a start.

18446744072956297216 is FFFFFFFFD31A4000 in hex




stderr.log:tcmalloc: large alloc 18446744072956297216 bytes == (nil) @  0x7fc9e487bdcb 0x7fc9e487bf1b 0x7fc9e487c965 0x7fc9e48ae9c5 0x7f1fef 0x867006 0x86780e 0x7f1a86 0x7f1da6 0x7f120a 0x7efbae 0x7ed324 0x866ea5 0x56440c 0x600317 0x60123e 0x5cfa04 0x837da3 0x5cfebf 0x52ecb0 0x7fc9e3865b45 0x5373ad (nil)
