Crash dump is being written to: erl_crash.dump...done

I stumbled upon this by accident while creating a kata-bootstrap for gleam, and I kept getting crashes when running gleam new application; cd application/; gleam test.

Might just be a small issue that someone with experience would have spotted right away, but the error was quite confusing to me as someone who hasn't worked in the erlang/beam ecosystem. Feel free to close this issue if it isn't that big of a problem.
