The runtime system could crash when attempting to load obsolete or damaged BEAM files (for example, loading code compiled by Erlang/OTP 23 in Erlang/OTP 27).

In the cleaning up of the off-heap list, don't crash when the
pointer to a fun entry is NULL. That can happen if loading failed
for some reason (the BEAM file was corrupted or too old).
Attempting to load an obsolete instruction with more than 6 operands
could crash the runtime system.
When attempting to load obsolete instructions, the loading
failed to recognize them and produced an unhelpful message
instead of a polite request to recompile the module.

This bug was introduced in 4dbc998.
