[erlang-questions] Segfault in NIF call

[fredrik@REDACTED]

Hello folks,

I'm having difficulties locating the cause of a segfault I'm getting when 
running tests with a NIF implementation I have.

Anything that would shed light on what's wrong is appreciated.

The backtrace does not seem to have anything to do with my NIF. The NIF:ed 
function is called from a few different processes, and it forwards the call 
to a worker thread which sends a message back to the caller process.
