It seems as soon as a database is opened, when the database is closed in the SOCI destructor, something is not correctly cleaned up, and the application crashes. This problem only affects MacOSX. The C++ code is doing the correct thing, something is up with either the SOCI library, the underlying drivers (although this issue manifests with all drivers), or in the process of unloading a dynamic library.
Unfortunately, debugging this issue is especially tricky, as symbolic debuggers (eg lldb) cannot be used.
