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

[Lukas Larsson]

The commit comment for this change is quite telling:
https://github.com/erlang/otp/commit/b628ebe21a7b449eea27ada811dfbb007afe6d0b

If you suspect that this could be the culprit maybe you could try to
backport the patch?

Also keep in mind that the =memory section lists it in bytes while =proc
sections list heap in words.
