it sounds like its running out of file handles - if it does the db
cannot be open and db things like store will become NULL and will
probably crash

best to run valgrind with it and report any bad problems and the number
of open file descriptios that valgrind spits out

run it as :

valgrind --tool=memcheck  --num-callers=20 --track-fds=yes
-v  ./trackerd
