[erlang-questions] Death of Erlang VM

[Matthias Lang]

I ran your 'bang' module on my machine, which is somewhat similar to
yours (an AMD64, running as a 64-bit machine). I let it run for about
a minute, no crash. I assume you would have said so if it required more
patience than that.

~sandbox > cat /proc/version

~sandbox >12erl +A 2 +K true

That's R12B-4.
