Hi, when compiling the attached code with R13A erlc the compiler crashes
with the following error:

Function: do_stuff/1
temp/test.erl:none: internal error in v3_codegen;
crash reason: {{case_clause,
                   {'EXIT',
                       {function_clause,
                           [{v3_codegen,longest,[[{ker0}],[]]},
                            {v3_codegen,longest,2},
                            {v3_codegen,sr_merge,2},
                            {v3_codegen,match_cg,5},
                            {v3_codegen,guard_match_cg,6},
                            {v3_codegen,guard_cg,5},
                            {v3_codegen,'-guard_cg_list/6-anonymous-0-',4},
                            {v3_codegen,flatmapfoldl,3}]}}},
               [{compile,'-select_passes/2-anonymous-2-',2},
                {compile,'-internal_comp/4-anonymous-1-',2},
                {compile,fold_comp,3},
                {compile,internal_comp,4},
                {compile,internal,3}]}

There are many ways to workaround this:

* Removing the try/catch block.
* Putting the case block in a separate functions.
* Assigning Foo#foo.bar to a local variable and use in guard instead.

Either way, the compiler shouldn't crash. It is possible that this issue
is already fixed as I've read some similar reports related to try/catch.

- -module(test).
- -export([start/0]).

- -record(foo, {
	bar = false :: bool()
}).

start() ->
	do_stuff(#foo{bar=true}).

do_stuff(Foo) ->
	try
		case fred:barney() of
			_ when Foo#foo.bar =:= true -> a;
			_ when Foo#foo.bar =:= false -> b
		end
	catch
		_ -> error
	end.
