I have confused with the same problem on my FreeBSD executable.
gdb says,

....

2006.08.24 00:18:20 LOG7[65395:134637568]:  -> 220 dion.ne.jp ESMTP

Program received signal SIGBUS, Bus error.
fdputline (c=0x8076000, fd=7, line=0x8056237 "EHLO localhost") at network.c:565

(gdb) until

Program terminated with signal SIGBUS, Bus error.
