Can you try running the gateway process under gdb, to see if that catches anything when it dies?

Our ctlapps4l gateway built with 3.14.11 on Linux has apparently been running continuously since March 18th. We don't normally allow puts through that gateway though, so you could be exercising parts of the code that we don't use here.
