It can be reproduced on my linux box even with simple tests:

Erlang (BEAM) emulator version 5.4 [source] [hipe] [hybrid heap]

Eshell V5.4  (abort with ^G)
1> A = lists:seq(1,10000), ok. 
ok
2> A = lists:seq(1,10000), ok.
ok
3> A = lists:seq(1,10000), ok.
segmentation fault

or

1> A = lists:seq(1,20000), ok.
ok
2> 2+2.
segmentation fault
