[erlang-questions] OTP 20.0.2 segfault at 5c ip in beam.smp

You need to instruct the operating system to save a core dump,
http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man5/core.5.html.

Some operating systems can be configured to dump parts of the core dump to
the syslog when a segfault happens, which can be useful but a full core
dump contains much more information so is a lot more useful.
