[erlang-bugs] Scheduler Wall Time Statistics live|dead locking a process.

I actually managed to get a core dump from a fake VM. It's currently 
being compressed, as the original one stands at a whopping 7.3GB.

The big problem is how long it takes to dump vs. the memory it requires. 
We were swapping for a few minutes while I was getting it ready.
