Run erlang under gdb. Starting the beam runtime system under gdb
is a PITA (needs several environment variables and command line
options normally set by the erl wrapper). An alternative is to
use "gdb --pid <pid of process>" to attach to beam after it has
started.

Finally, you could hack in a SIGILL signal handler and have it
print EIP and the surrounding object code.
