My Tor node gets killed once every day or two with the following message in

That's a size_overflow false positive. Try some of the recent grsec
patches, it might be fixed there. Or disable PAX_SIZE_OVERFLOW and
rebuild your kernel.

That sounds about right. I'm not hitting this with tor-ramdisk, a tiny ramdisk image for running tor relays, built with latest tor + busybox + hardened kernel. I have PAX_SIZE_OVERFLOW off. I didn't even try turning it on since its still very experimental.
