[erlang-bugs] Code path of application

[Siri Hansen]

Hi Andrew!

I finally had the time to look at this. It seems there is a bug - and a
simple workaround.

The bug is that the code path is not at all updated unless the relup
contains an instruction for at least one of the application's modules.

The workaround is to use the {update_paths,true} option to
release_handler:install_release/2. The documentation for this option says:
"The option {update_paths,Bool} indicates if all application code paths
should be updated (Bool==true), or if only code paths for modified
applications should be updated (Bool==false, default)."

Since your application is indeed updated, the path should of course have
been updated anyway. I will correct this for OTP R14B04.
