The collected strace would be huge, but may be the next step.  Try and
pick out the tail end of the trace where the crash actually happens,
rather than the entire trace.  But that will only point out what syscalls
were being made prior to the crash.

Actually, a better next step might be to build your own debugging version
of bash, with symbols still compiled in, so that you can get a backtrace
of the crash.  I'm still trying to reproduce your failure, with no success
yet.
