[erlang-bugs] strange warning from the compiler

[Bengt Kleberg]

greetings,

i think this bug report needs an erlang version since the code compiles 
without problem on my system.

Erlang (BEAM) emulator version 5.5.5 [async-threads:0] [hipe] 
[kernel-poll:false]

SunOS ws67042 5.8 Generic_117350-39 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Blade-1500

Those were the days...

    solely in a computer program then the subject matter is not
    patentable in whatever manner it may be presented in the claims."
