[erlang-bugs] crypto from windows service?

[Emile Joubert]

Hi,

I'm unable to start the crypto module in an Erlang VM installed as a 
Windows service, if that service has any stopaction or a debugtype 
specified.

Here are the steps to reproduce:

 > erlsrv add test -st halt() -sn test@REDACTED
 > erlsrv start test
 > werl.exe -remsh test@REDACTED -sname tmp
   (in the werl window)
1> crypto:start().

When left long enough this leads to

** Node 'test@REDACTED' not responding **
** Removing (timedout) connection **

Specifying a debugtype of new or reuse also leads to a timeout:

 > erlsrv add test -de new -sn test@REDACTED
 > erlsrv start test
 > werl.exe -remsh test@REDACTED -sname tmp
   (in the werl window)
1> crypto:start().

When the service is installed without a stopaction and without a 
debugtype specified then the crypto module works fine:

 > erlsrv add test -sn test
 > erlsrv start test
 > werl.exe -remsh test@REDACTED -sname tmp
   (in the werl window)
1> crypto:rand_bytes(1).

I've observed this behaviour on version R14B01 and R14B02 on Windows XP 
32bit. Is this a known issue and is there a better workaround than not 
specifying stopaction or a debugtype ?
