Can you check dmesg and/or syslog for any messages regarding clang being
out of memory?  If it always crashes in the same place, then it could
indeed be a clang bug (but it's unlikely, since you seem to be the only
one having this problem), but it could also be some RAM problem that
only manifests when you are actively using a lot of memory.  I would do
a few memcheck passes on the machine, just to be sure.

Since clang does not seem to be able to generate the preprocessed
sources, this will be tricky or impossible to reproduce.  Maybe you can
try getting a backtrace from the core dump?  But this will require debug
symbols, unfortunately.
