Hi all, I can pretty reliably trigger a segfault in a distributed Erlang system I'm running.  I've seen it happen in both 13B01 and 13B04.  The backtrace generally looks like

#0  do_minor (p=0x7f2bbbc63560, new_sz=<value optimized out>, objv=0x1, nobj=1) at beam/erl_gc.c:909
#1  0x00000000004f7eb8 in erts_garbage_collect (p=0x7f2bbbc63560, need=0, objv=0x1, nobj=1) at beam/erl_gc.c:764

Happy to upload a full core dump somewhere if it would be helpful.  I'm not getting an erl_crash.dump.  Any thoughts on what the next step might be?  Best,

Adam
