You could try updating to 499.1204:
http://www.byond.com/download/build/499/

Tom mentioned in his post that that version fixes a heap corruption issue for Linux users, which may be what you're seeing. I can't find any mention of which program the fix was for, but it's worth a try.
I will ask my host to do so, thanks for the reply pal :)
There was something going wrong in the earlier 499 builds on Linux due to the way they were built. We never really understood why it happened, but it seemed to impact Ubuntu in particular. When we went back to the old building method as of 499.1203_2, the issue went away.

Because any Linux crash report in the earlier 499 series is likely to be caused by that issue, I'm going to close this report.
