[erlang-bugs] ^G-q in remote shell quits erlang node

[Johannes Weißl]

Hello,

I experienced a very worrisome behavior: After connecting to an Erlang
node with "-remsh", typing "^G-q" (JCL mode) quit the production node (!),
not the maintenance shell:

    (node@REDACTED)2>
    User switch command
     --> q
    heart: Fri May  8 14:23:03 2015: Erlang has closed.
    Killed
    sh: echo: I/O error

I could not reproduce that in an example, but it happened twice on a
production node. Has anybody ever had this problem? Has anybody an idea
how this can happen and where the bug could be located?

The system is OTP 17.4 running on Debian Jessie. The node is started by
a shell init script using "run_erl -daemon", /sbin/init is systemd.

Regards,
Johannes
