upd: After update system on 64 bit all work "3.11.0-12-generic #19-Ubuntu SMP Wed Oct 9 16:20:46 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux"
on 32bit bug still present

You ran out of stack space.

bundler uses a recursive algorithm for resolving gems, so if your Gemfile is overly complex this will occur.

Sometimes ruby does not properly detect that it has run out of stack space, so a crash occurs instead.

The current best workaround is to make your Gemfile less complex.

I hope ulimit -s 8192 should help on 32bit system. Will test later and report
