[erlang-bugs] send_timeout doesn't work

[pan@REDACTED]

Hi!

Very good test program, it's obviously something wrong here, and that's 
the handling of timeouts when we are in active mode. It's broken.

Please try the attached (very simple) patch, it should fix the problem. 
It's still not tested in our daily builds, but it will soon be. Any 
feedback is welcome!

Cheers,
/Patrik
