This is a tree topology, with is the extreme worst you can do with
onewire. It is expected to be a *bus*, not a star and not a tree. Don't
expect anything not a bus working reliable. This is due to overlapping
signal reflections from each leaf.

If you really need a tree, you have to put a DS2409 bus coupler on each
fork. Usually it is simpler to create an electrical bus without leaves
by making lobes of 1wire+GND forward and 1wire+GND return wires to the
remote locations.

Start it with --debug and see what it says when crashing.
