In general this means:
code has exited due to a signal, as the exit code is larger than 128.
Subtract 128 to get the signal number: 9
Signal 9 under a unix system means SIGKILL. So somebody or something has
killed espresso. If you were running under a queuing system, check its log
files (if you don't know where they are, you have to ask your local system
administrator).
If you were running without a queueing system on a linux machine, the OOM
killer (part of the linux kernel) may be responsible: try 'dmesg' in a
terminal or check the logfiles in /var/log/.
