[root at monitor bin]# ./bbcmd bbtest-net --version bbtest-net version 4.2.0 SSL library : OpenSSL 0.9.8b 04 May 2006 LDAP library: OpenLDAP 20327
4.2.0 is a pretty old version.
Based on the traceback, I would think this is the "bbtest-net segfaults on SSL cert expire 2054" bug reported by the Debian folks in http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=503111
This bugreport also includes a patch that you can use if you must remain at version 4.2.0. But I would really recommend that you update to at least 4.2.3, which is the last 4.2.x release.
