When I try to do a gdb -c corefile on the resulting core image, all i get
is a couple of thousand empty stack frames. Any idea why that might be,

I'm seeing this on HEAD, not RELENG_6. I don't have a backtrace nearby, but
it seems to be crash inside free().
Application memory errors in HEAD but not in a RELENG_ branch are frequently a
symptom of an application bug unmasked by malloc(3) debugging enabled in the
development branch but not production branches. It might not hurt to ramp up
debugging on your 6.x install to see if it starts crashing there was well --
see malloc(3) for details, you'll want to create an appropriate malloc.conf.
