Something is corrupting the malloc structures. It's probably some kind
of buffer overflow (more bytes are written than allocated).
Because ser is compiled with DBG_QM_MALLOC, it checks at each
qm_malloc/qm_free if the internal memory structures are ok.
In this case after a shm_free it detects a fragment with its end
overwritten and then it tries to display the list with all the allocated
fragments (qm_status()). During this operations it coredumps.

In this case the ser log would be much more helpful.
