Environment.Exit() causing a crash rings a bell, but I can't think of
the specifics right now.

That backtrace looks fairly garbled to me.  Is this extracted from a
core dump or did you run your app through gdb?

That trace doesn't help much either.

Could you try a newer version (either later 1.1.13 or head), compiled
with debugging symbols?  And if you extracted the backtrace from a core
dump, running it in gdb might generate better information.  You need to
tell gdb:

handle SIGPWR SIGXCPU nostop noprint pass

before you start executing.

Does anything change if you run on a single processor machine?
