In Erlang SASL Crash Report, what exactly is the meaning of the “messages:” field?

Question

Is the messages field in a sasl crash report the current content of the messages mailbox i.e. the unrecieved messages?

Or is it the messages history, the last received messages?

If it shows the received messages in what order are they shown?
