[erlang-bugs] Misspelled word "seperator"

[Lukas Larsson]

Hello,

Thanks for reporting this.

All of the places that you list below (including string:tokens/2) are 
internal comments or function that are not supposed to be exposed to the 
user of Erlang/OTP. I suppose that Erlide detects it as edoc style 
documentation and therefore uses it.

That being said I found some other places where the word was misspelled 
and I've included them together with the servers -> server's fixes in a 
doc branch to be included in the next minor release.

Thanks,
Lukas
