A few thoughts:

* That address looks special or suspicious to me.  Problem with a shared 
library, perhaps FFI?

* If this VM is 64-bit, are you running 64-bit code and libraries?

* You can run under "gdb" and try to get it to fail again, to get a 
backtrace .  If you don't want to run under "gdb", enable core dumps for 
the process, try to reproduce the failure, and then you can use "gdb" to 
get a post-mortem backtrace from the "core" file.

* If the backtrace doesn't help, I suggest looking through the 
application code and any libraries you're using, for things that seem 
like they might be problematic.

* I don't know how you're doing SMTP, but if you have various MTAs 
connecting with various SMTP accents, perhaps (this is wild speculation) 
the problem occurs when one MTA tries to to SSL/TLS and there's some 
shared library problem with OpenSSL or other library?

* Good luck, and don't be scared off too easily.  FWIW, I can tell you 
that clients of mine have numerous production installations of 
Racket-based Internet apps (mostly PLT version 4.x; not much 5.x yet), 
including some use of EC2, and I don't recall encountering a problem 
like this.
