I've had problems with aMule crashing too.  Typically it would run fine
for a few hours, and then it would suddenly start allocating memory
(my system memory usage graph went from a flat line to a line climbing
with constant slope) and then it would exit and leave a core file behind.
It might have been a segfault, but I don't remember.  I'm not able to
test it right now.

My solution at the time was to run amule with "while true; do amule; done".
