[erlang-bugs] R14B02+ crashes on older hardware, Windows XP

[Patrick Baggett]

The attached logged are pretty much useless. They are more or less hardware
specs, but they don't even say the reason the program crashed (e.g.
segfault, bus error, invalid insn, etc.) That error dialog that you have a
screenshot of: try clicking the blue underlined link "click here" and
reading the crash code. It will be 8 hex digits, usually beginning with
C000, for example, C000001D is "illegal instruction" which can occur in an
older CPU tries to execute newer instructions.
