The main suspect right now is that the code in inet_drv.c parsing
the return data from getifaddrs() gets lost in some peculiar data.

Can you get us a stack backtrace something like this
(ulimit -c before, gdb Pgm core after, use gdb command "bt"):
[~]$ ulimit -c unlimited
[~]$ erl
Erlang R14B01 (erts-5.8.2) [source] [smp:2:2] [rq:2] [async-threads:0]
[hipe] [kernel-poll:false]

Eshell V5.8.2  (abort with ^G)

And then, for the most suspicious stack frame:
(gdb) fr 1

120             erts_print(to, to_arg, "=proc_heap:%T\n", p->id);
121             for (sp = p->stop; sp < STACK_START(p); sp++) {
122                 Eterm term = *sp;
123
124                 if (!is_catch(term) && !is_CP(term)) {
125                     heap_dump(to, to_arg, term);
126                 }
127             }
128             for (mp = p->msg.first; mp != NULL; mp = mp->next) {
129                 Eterm mesg = ERL_MESSAGE_TERM(mp);
(gdb) p to
$1 = <value optimized out>
(gdb) p to_arg
$2 = <value optimized out>
(gdb) p term
$3 = 0

Variable "term" is NULL, that is suspicious.
