I just tried the same thing on my AM33xx and nothing bad happned here.
One thing still: you might want to use "-n" for nanosleep.

Could you try [0] to check if you are not using more memory than
available? If the OOM-killer kills the program, then it is okay, if the
data-abort exception comes or the kernel crashes in a strange way then
it is HW.

The tracer do not use any special interrupts on purpose.
Now that I saw rasperry-pi let me ask this: do you have any
non-mainline patches on-top? And if it is the case, could you try to
get rid of them?
Also you can try the same test without the RT patches?
