[erlang-bugs] Bug in Erlang/OTP 17 [RELEASE CANDIDATE 1]

[Steve Vinoski]

Agreed. On OS X:

$ file -I bug.erl
bug.erl: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1

Adding %% -*- coding: utf-8 -*- to the top of the file causes the file to
be saved as UTF-8:

$ file -I bug.erl
bug.erl: text/plain; charset=utf-8

and after that, the compiler -- or more specifically, the file_io_server --
is happy again.
