What is wrong? Help please.

Sun Oct 10 19:17:25 CEST 1999

I'm working on simple erlang alarm monitor with Java front-end, but jive
always crushs with same reason on the same function after 2-10 minutes of
work. Below is a part of erlang-crush.dump.
My environment is RedHat Linux 6.0 and erlang-47.4.1.
