Hello,
I have found out that on intel Atom processors the erlang:processes()
crashes the VM.
To me it seems like a glitch in the implementation of
ethr_dw_atomic_cmpxchg on platforms lacking native support for double word
compare-and-exchange (although I cannot claim I really understand all of
erl_threads.h and atomic.h).

GDB stacktrace:
