I noticed this problem before your report :) It's not a mm, but pgsql save handler though. Root
of the problem is the same, I guess. 
I'm not 100% sure, yet, but multiple close calls may be the cause.

A simple script that reproduces the problem with "mm". Works fine for a while until
"mm" breaks under stress:

<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL);
$abc1 = '';
for ($i=0;$i<20;$i++)
	session_register('abc'.$i);
@$_SESSION['abc1'] += 2;
print "<pre>$abc1\n\n";
?>

When stress testing my web server with

ab -n5000 -c10 <url>

after about 1000-1500 requests the child processes start to fail.

In my apache error_log I see many entries like the following:

[Fri Dec 28 19:50:06 2001] [notice] child pid 14215 exit signal Segmentation fault (11)

If I repeat the "ab" test several times, eventually Apache will hang and I have to restart
the web server. Here are the results:

When I switch from "mm" to "files" everything works fine. I have a suspicion
that the bug is related to the fact that I am running on an SMP processor.
