Last error before bip crashes in bip.log is

02-11-2013 02:42:18 FATAL: Failed assetion in src/irc.c(2447): n

This is the same bug as upstream bip bug
https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4319

Which is resolved
https://projects.duckcorp.org/attachments/56?type=sbs

This was resolved in quantal and newer by
Fix CVE-2012-0806: buffer overflow.
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-branches/ubuntu/quantal/bip/quantal/view/head:/debian/patches/CVE-2012-0806.patch

This fix needs to be backported into precise.

I'm not exactly sure why bip is failing for me all of a sudden, but I did recently go through some major upgrades of both software and hardware on my bip server. I'll be posting debdiffs as soon as I have tested them.
