+ A timer internal bit-field used for storing scheduler id
+ was too small. As a result, VM internal timer data
+ structures could become inconsistent when using 1024
+ schedulers on the system. Note that systems with less
+ than 1024 schedulers are not effected by this bug.</p>
+ <p>
+ This bug was introduced in ERTS version 7.0 (OTP 18.0).</p>

+ Automatic cleanup of a BIF timer, when the owner process
+ terminated, could race with the timeout of the timer.
+ This could cause the VM internal data structures to
+ become inconsistent which very likely caused a VM crash.</p>
