It is a known problem. We have now posted a correction of the eunit
application at

http://www.erlang.org/download/patches/eunit-2.1.1.tar.gz

You need to manually unpack and install the application in "lib"
directory of the
Erlang/OTP installation (alternatively, use "erl -pa
/path/to/eunit-2.1.1/ebin").

Sorry for the inconvenience.
