Comment (by reimar):

 Definitely OOM killer. If I am right that you run a 32 bit FFmpeg, please
 use a more reasonable swap size. With a 4 GB swap a 32 bit version will
 always allow to get a proper backtrace instead of invoking the OOM killer.
 In case of a 64 bit version you could set the memory ulimit to achieve a
 similar effect, however x264 using up several GB of RAM is not necessarily
 a bug, and I do not know what usual memory usage numbers are for which
 profile.
