[erlang-bugs] a crypto function call crashes VM

[Erik Søe Sørensen]

Simpler version:
  crypto:sha_update(list_to_binary(lists:seq(1,96)).

Boundary:
6> crypto:sha_update(list_to_binary([0 || _ <- lists:seq(1,96)]), "x").    
<<0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,8,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,
  120,...>>
7> crypto:sha_update(list_to_binary([1 || _ <- lists:seq(1,96)]), "x").
Segmentation fault

(Probably part of the binary is interpreted as a pointer, except when NULL.)
