You may be running out of memory. Do you have swap enabled anywhere?

A Bus Error is also fired on an unaligned access to memory on platforms which require aligned access. I'm not sure if the NanoNote is one of these, but it would make sense that you can't run any complex application.

Double check that the binaries you are running are compiled for the correct arch.
