How did you build the Erlang emulator, how did you start it
(arguments), how did you provoke the segfault?

Can you post the code that provokes this to see
if it is reproducable on other OS:es?

Can you post the core dump for the Erlang/OTP team to dissect?

Can you build and run a debug emulator and see if you get an earlier
fault detection? (gmake smp TYPE=debug in the emulator directory)
