beam crasher: ets + write_concurrency

[Dave Smith]

Greetings,

I believe that I have identified a VM crasher when using ETS with
write concurrency enabled. Sample code is as follows:

T = ets:new(?MODULE, [{write_concurrency, true}]),
ets:insert_new(T, {foo, 1}),
ets:match(T, {nosuchvalue, '$1'}).

GDB stack trace shows:

Program received signal EXC_BAD_ACCESS, Could not access memory.

This crash was repeatable on the following platforms:

OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard), 64-bit and 32-bit VM
OS X 10.5 (Leopard), 32-bit VM
Debian Linux 2.6 x86_64, 64-bit VM

Erlang versions tested: R13B01, R13B02-1

Thanks,
