[erlang-questions] Why Beam.smp crashes when memory is over?

[Max Lapshin]

Look, I have a program, that reads MPEG TS stream from network. There
is some bug in my code
and my ts_lander crashes beam. How is it possible to store state of
external HTTP stream??

If Erlang VM wouldn't crash, but only kill the leaking process, I
could buffer stream in other process and feed
new mpeg ts lander after restart. But it is impossible =(
