[erlang-questions] crash while garbing - OTP-7132

[satoshi kinoshita]

Does any one know some more detail information for OTP-7132?


--- http://www.erlang.org/doc/apps/erts/notes.html#id114389 ----
The emulator could under rare circumstances crash while garbage collecting.

Own Id: OTP-7132
----------------------------------------------------------------

We're still using R11B-5 and having a crash while doing GC on a process.
Though erl_crash.dump is reporting almost 2GB was used for "processes",
top/vmstat is just reporting less than 1GB for beam.smp.

It is also strange to me that sum of heap and OldHeap for all processes
are less than 100M, but processes_used is almost 1.6G.

I don't know OTP-7132 is related. Any information will be appreciated.

Thanks,
Kinoshita
