+++ 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.
Verified in Juno 2016-05-04 with erlang-R16B-03.7min.3.el7ost.x86_64, using the explosivo.sh script from bug #1291822.
