+ ERTS internal trees of monitor structures could get into
+ an inconsistent state. This could cause <c>'DOWN'</c>
+ messages not to be delivered when they should, as well as
+ delivery of <c>'DOWN'</c> messages that should not be
+ delivered.</p>
+ <p>
+ This bug was introduced in ERTS version 9.0 (OTP 20.0)
+ and was fixed in ERTS version 10.0 (OTP 21.0) due to a
+ rewrite of the monitor code. That is, this bug only exist
+ in the OTP 20 release.</p>

+ <p>
+ Fixed a bug which caused an emulator crash when
+ <c>enif_send()</c> was called by a NIF that executed on a
+ dirty scheduler. The bug was either triggered when the
+ NIF called <c>enif_send()</c> without a message
+ environment, or when the process executing the NIF was
+ <c>send</c> traced.</p>

+ Fixed a bug causing some Erlang references to be
+ inconsistently ordered. This could for example cause
+ failure to look up certain elements with references as
+ keys in search data structures. This bug was introduced
+ in R13B02.</p>
+ <p>
+ Thanks to Simon Cornish for finding the bug and supplying
+ a fix.</p>
