I'm just taking a wild guess here, because I had similar symptoms: that 
log message doesn't seem to be a crash but a regular shutdown. In my 
case I use 'monit' to monitor my server and the running services - 
including tor. Once in a while the automated TCP check on either the 
OR-Port or the DIR-Port failed which resulted in monit stopping and 
starting tor.

I reconfigured monit not to restart tor until at least three consecutive 
TCP checks failed. Now I still get the warnings for failed checks from 
time to time (maybe under high load?) but tor seems to run stable.
