[erlang-bugs] Spec or Dialyzer regression

[pan@REDACTED]

Hi!

It's not really obvious from the output, but the problem is the spec for 
open_port in erlang.erl. All the "will never return" things all boil down 
to
rebar_utils:sh/2 and eventually the call to open_port. The option 'hide' 
is missing from the spec (which is new as it was before handled by the
erl_bif_types.erl thing).

I will update the spec in erlang.erl and you should be down to the single 
warning again in a few days!

Cheers,
/Patrik
