[erlang-bugs] Errors when using file:sendfile/2

[Lukas Larsson]

Hello,

Thanks for reporting this. The bug does, as Tuncer said, not appear if 
you run with async-threads. I've identified the issue and I'm working on 
a solution. While waiting for the fix I recommend all to use 
async-threads in a VM running sendfile as it is less prone to 
race-conditions and should be faster.
