Sebastian: What platform are you using?  I believe you're probably right because Wikipedia says this about possible reasons to get SIGBUS (besides alignment):

BUS_OBJERROR (info from the SIGBUS signal) is a far less common signal but it is present in Solaris, when virtual memory pages have disappeared (e.g. accessing an mmap()'ed file which has been truncated).  This matches the description of the problem exactly.
