2.8.X includes the bmalloc memory allocator by default, while on 2.6.X
the default allocator was tcmalloc (IIRC).

I have seen a similar behaviour, when bmalloc fails to allocate memory
it returns NULL and causes a crash on the webprocess.

You may want to try to build with -DUSE_SYSTEM_MALLOC=ON but I don't
think it will fix your problem. You will probably get an OOM situation
instead of a crash.
