erl -hybrid segfaults

[Ulf Wiger (AL/EAB)]

I didn't look to closely at the output from my 
program. The first column should of course account
for the message size, rather than the number of 
processes (which is constant.)

Here's the patch:

20c20
<           {N, Result}
---
>           {Size, Result}
