Fair enough. To the debugger!<div><div></div><div><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2011/6/9 Patrick Baggett <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:baggett.patrick@gmail.com" target="_blank">baggett.patrick@gmail.com</a>></span><br>

Well the point was to check if there might be a reason like compiler optimization that was causing it. Usually debug builds don't have extremely heavy optimization enabled and if that was the cause, it would automagically disappear. Since it isn't the problem, I don't really have good ideas other than debugging Erlang itself.<div>

Maybe it is compiler options / optimizations producing wrong code? I'd make 100% sure all *.o files are gone and then retry with a debug build. Other than that, I don't know what to tell you. :\<div><div></div><div>
