I believe it is a time related issue. For a test, I had the policy server connect to the client's cf-serverd continually for several hours without any issue.
I cannot say where the memory issue was. I did not have cf-serverd compiled in debug mode, so there are no symbols in the core file. However, the core dump did not indicate cf-serverd, but rather some internal libc code. I have seen this before on some other programs - exact same stack trace and same register values.
