When this happens, it usually means that the parent segfaulted.
I've been trying to reproduce a few reports of this for a while
without success.  If you get time, running trinity inside gdb should
be enough to get a useful backtrace.

(Or run with -D, and collect coredumps [there will a lot], and match the
 core to the pid of the process we're interested in)
