I wonder if it's the same logfetch bug that's been lingering at least 3 years:
I believe you're probably right, I had found postings from as far back as December 2011 to this list describing the same sort of crashing.
You might try out the work-around mentioned there to see if it helps.
My work-around was to back-out the two seemingly-harmless "ignore" lines I had just added to my "client-config.cfg" file! I would try the memmove() twiddle (if I can't solve it some other way) but then again I'm using the Terabithia pre-cooked RPMs, so ...
P.S. Why am I getting these "isn't signed with proper key" messages as well?
Maybe this can help:

Ah, interesting, thanks for that. Not sure I'm too excited about going 'round adding 2 lines to 100+ "/etc/abrt/abrt.conf" files tho ;)
- GregYeah, that was a nasty bug :/ 4.3.18 is around the corner, so I haven't backported that to the previous 4.3.17 package, but could.
ignore/trigger should fix the problem for now. Would you be up for testing the most recent 4.3.18 package in http://terabithia.org/rpms/xymon/testing/el6/ on a box and see if that runs fine? (Just to validate there's not something else going on here causing the crash...)
