Crashing erlang VM vith open_port

[Taavi Talvik]

Following program crashes beam VM. Is it possible to check
available resources or magic version headers or received packet lenght
before trying to allocate silly amount of memory?

best regards,

-export([test/0]).

test() ->
    Port = erlang:open_port({spawn,"echo blaah blaah blaah blaah"},
                            [binary,{packet,4},exit_status]),
   loop().

loop() ->

	Message ->
