What do you mean by getting "nuked"?  There are three things I've seen 
happen with the parser:
- Parser fails itself (normal failure, returns NULL, logged in normal log)
- Scanner fails (usually trapped, life goes on but then the parser fails)
- Parser.parse().TranslationUnit throws an exception.  I've currently got
  this wrapped in a try {} catch() block since it doesn't do my sanity
  much good =;-)  This seems to only happen on one file and I'll try and
  track it down.

Let me know if there is something I can help with while I still have 
access to this particular project and source.

I can tell you right now that there are a number of Indexer Failed messages
that come out, trying to boil these down to the when and where is quite
a challenge, but if you think that it is worthwhile then I can send you
the traces (note, I often get Mb of traces from the scanner/parser notes
to the index notes ... it is volumous).

Thanks for the reply Bogdan
