[erlang-questions] Problem with erlang:memory(processes_used)

Hello,

Could you please provide the output of
erlang:system_info({allocator,eheap_alloc})
and erlang:system_info({allocator,fix_alloc}). erlang:memory is based on
the total of the first element in the blocks_size tuple of each instance
for sbcs and mbcs. Something seems to be calculated or reported incorrectly
there.
