+ Fix bug causing fallback atomics to be used even though
+ healthy gcc atomics or libatomic_ops was detected.</p>

+ <p>
+ Ensure 'erl_crash.dump' when asked for it. This will
+ change erl_crash.dump behaviour.</p>
+ <p>
+ * Not setting ERL_CRASH_DUMP_SECONDS will now terminate
+ beam immediately on a crash without writing a crash dump
+ file.</p>
+ <p>
+ * Setting ERL_CRASH_DUMP_SECONDS to 0 will also terminate
+ beam immediately on a crash without writing a crash dump
+ file, i.e. same as not setting ERL_CRASH_DUMP_SECONDS
+ environment variable.</p>
+ <p>
+ * Setting ERL_CRASH_DUMP_SECONDS to a negative value will
+ let the beam wait indefinitely on the crash dump file
+ being written.</p>
+ <p>
+ * Setting ERL_CRASH_DUMP_SECONDS to a positive value will
+ let the beam wait that many seconds on the crash dump
+ file being written.</p>
+ <p>
+ A positive value will set an alarm/timeout for restart
+ both in beam and in heart if heart is running.</p>

+ <p>In the expression
+ <c>&lt;&lt;Bin/binary,...&gt;&gt;</c>, if <c>Bin</c> was
+ a bitstring with a size not a multiple of 8, either no
+ exception was generated or an incorrect exception was
+ generated. (Thanks to Adam Rutkowski for reporting this
+ bug.)</p>

+ The runtime system could crash while scheduling a port
+ task. The port task was scheduled either due to an
+ external I/O event being triggered, a driver timeout
+ being triggered, or data being sent over a distribution
+ channel.</p>

+ A faulty spec for process_info/2 could cause false
+ dialyzer warnings. The spec is corrected.</p>

+ <item>
+ <p>
+ In very rare cases, the VM could crash if a garbage
+ collector was called while executing an appending bit
+ syntax instruction. The symptom was a core when
+ reallocating memory in the function erts_bs_append. The
+ garbage collector bug is now corrected.</p>

+ Due to a race condition on Windows, sometimes when
+ printing to standard output and then immediately
+ terminating erlang all data would not be printed. The
