erl -hybrid segfaults

[Ulf Wiger (AL/EAB)]

I modified my ring benchmark slightly in order to ramp up on message size
rather than number of processes (scaling up on processes is so boring ---
I get constant cost until my machine starts swapping.)

I thought I'd see if 'erl -hybrid' could do well. It did -- for the first two 
iterations, but then it segfaulted.

I'm running this on my Solaris 8 box. Can it be reproduced on other environments?
(I've enclosed my benchmark program.)

Regards,
Uffe
