[erlang-bugs] prim_eval:'receive'

[Tony Rogvall]

I still think this is a bit boring.

> self() ! a.
> prim_eval:'receive'(fun(X) -> prim_eval:'receive'(fun(Y) -> Y end, 500) end, 1000).
Segmentation fault: 11

Is it really that hard to fix?

It would be fun to see cool hacks that can bring down the emulator!

A list of NOT so cool hacks:

  > init:stop().
  > erlang:halt(1).
  > os:cmd(”kill ”++os:getpid()).
  > lists:seq(1, 18446744073709551616).
  - write driver or nif that crash

But anything else should be interesting to see.

How many ways can we crash the emulator in this way?
