Do you have any code like kill counters or whatever in? My advice: check raw_kill and other similar functions for things pointing to pcdata. You need a check to make sure you're not trying to set pcdata onto a mob.
It's hard to say exactly what's going on with the little bit of info you gave. Try to send in the backtrace from gdb (bt) and it might help to narrow things down some more.
