I am not able to understand the reason why Erlang crashes and restarts. I am running Ejabberd server and its log folder is always full of erl_crash_xxxx.dump files. How can I debug this problem.
Here is a small part of erlang.log file:
=CRASH REPORT==== 4-Sep-2013::19:44:51 ===

These are the top few lines of a typical crash dump file:
