Presumably 'abfd' is NULL ?  bfd_find_target is not supposed to be
called with a NULL bfd parameter so it is the caller's fault that this
crash is happening.  Can you generate a stack backtrace for the even
and find out who the parents and grandparents are ?

It certainly sounds like a memory exhaustion problem, possibly from an
inifinite loop somewhere, so maybe the stack backtrace will show this
up as well.
