[erlang-questions] Erl getting stuck in SMP with 8 cores

[Sargun Dhillon]

This sounds almost like a hardware/kernel issue. I've run erlang on
8-CPU machines (32 & 64) without any "thread jamming." I was using
yaws & my own erlang code, both of which use recursive functions. The
difference was that I was running it under a fairly optimized Gentoo
system, and not CentOS. If you enable core dumps, do you get anything
from beam? When it locks up try SIGSEVC and get a core dump to
analyze. You can try (l/s)trace also in order to find system calls
which can be crashing on your box.
