This is not a bug with the erlang documentation. It's a bug in
gotapi's scraper, or, if they do these things manually (?!) a lack of
maintenance at gotapi.

All that's changed there is that the anchors are now like this:

   http://erlang.org/doc/man/io.html#fwrite-1

instead of

   http://erlang.org/doc/man/io.html#fwrite/1

Not exactly rocket science for gotapi to fix. (Not rocket science for
erlang.org to change back either, but that's putting the cart in front
of the horse)
