segmentation fault in tree_delete at beam/erl_bestfit_alloc.c:431

[Igor Goryachev]

Hello.

We are suffering of quite frequent segmentation faults on our erlangish
environment. We run r14b01 node with a very small load on linux 2.6.32
(Debian GNU/Linux Squeeze 6.0), which is virtual machine hosted under
OpenVZ hypervisor (16 cores, Xeon 2.40GHz).

I've tried to rebuild erlang with and without smp and threads, but in any
case I'm getting the same behaviour.

What additional helpful information should I provide?
