+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1291822 +++ Erlang aborts in dist_port_command with ERTS_ABORT_EXIT: if (size > (Uint) INT_MAX) erl_exit(ERTS_ABORT_EXIT, "Absurdly large distribution output data buffer " "(%beu bytes) passed.\n", size); However, ERTS_ABORT_EXIT inhibits erlang crash dump generation. It would be better to exit with ERTS_DUMP_EXIT so a crash dump is generated, in order to help debug crashes from large messages.
I will need more info. Where in openstack is erlang used and where do I find the code lines that you mention? Do you have a scenario to recreate this large buffer?
