When  TeX says
! TeX capacity exceeded, sorry [token memory size=<...>]
it is its graceful way to exit from  an irreversible situation.
It can be caused by luatex or ConTeXt mkiv
but it's *not* a segmentation fault, as you said early:

Only luatex can do a segmentation fault -- of course due a tex macro
/lua function possibly called  from ConTeXt.
What happen for me (linux ubuntu 10lts 32bit)  and Hans (windows (7
professional 64bit ?) )  is a "TeX capacity exceeded," , not a seg.
fault, and sometime happen if one calls a macro in a wrong way.
So, do you have a segmentation fault or a TeX capacity exceeded on you
linux 64bit box ?
