You're right, this was the problem. I verified that the stack base pointer was way to large (right next to the SIGSEGV address). I've also found that everything runs fine when I add the "--keep-stacktraces=none" flag, which is acceptable for now since I'm more interested in the Java stack traces inside the RVM anyways.
