I fixed my core dumps.
The problem was in trickle that I am using to stop bitcoin-qt to upload 20-30 GB of data daily!

If there are other trickle users here, you are likely to experience the same core dumps with bitcoin-qt 0.8.2, you can find a description of the problem and a patch file to fix the core dumps here:

Topic: core dumps from bitcoin-qt 0.8.2 (Read 1161 times)
interesting suggestion.
I was under impression that 0.8.2 was the latest and greatest. Anyway, my investigation has advanced a little bit.:
#0 0x00007f11d50df3d1 in _int_malloc () from /usr/lib/libc.so.6
(gdb) where
#0 0x00007f11d50df3d1 in _int_malloc () from /usr/lib/libc.so.6
#1 0x00007f11d50e261a in calloc () from /usr/lib/libc.so.6
#2 0x00007f11d8a2d340 in ?? () from /usr/lib/trickle/trickle-overload.so
#3 0x00007f11d8a2d922 in select () from /usr/lib/trickle/trickle-overload.so
#4 0x00000000004e3926 in ThreadSocketHandler() ()
#5 0x00000000004e4a3d in void TraceThread(char const*, void (*)()) ()
#6 0x00007f11d7337a09 in ?? () from /usr/lib/libboost_thread.so.1.53.0
#7 0x00007f11d7115b52 in start_thread () from /usr/lib/libpthread.so.0
#8 0x00007f11d515893d in clone () from /usr/lib/libc.so.6
If you core dump deep inside libc while allocating memory, that can only mean 1 thing:
Heap corruption
Will run valgrind on bitcoin-qt to see what it finds. If valgrind finds something easily, I'll be a bit surprised as this should be a mandatory check before bitcoin dev team release a new version.

Update your bitcoinQT client.
It happens every five/ten minutes. Here is what is in my journal log file. I will recompile it without striping out symbols to have a nice call stack but in the meantime, if it is a known issue, please point me to possible workaround:
