As I wrote in the erlang-bugs mailing list:

  "The race condition detection in dialyzer in R15B02 unfortunately has
   a problem in many cases (at least in all cases where behaviours are
   also involved).  We already have a patch for this, which we are
   testing in large code bases to make sure there are no issues left,
   and we will notify this thread for its existence when it gets ready."

So, in case you are using the option -Wrace_conditions, which is off by 
default, then most probably the crash is due to this. If not, then this 
is news to us, so please send (privately) the offending module to me in 
order to investigate.
