Heart problem with dist_ac-example

[Jani Launonen]

Hello,

I've been studying Ulf's distributed application controller example
http://www.erlang.org/ml-archive/erlang-questions/200212/msg00009.html and
reading manuals to understand it's structure. I tried to amuse myself with
making the two nodes required by the example to restart in case of crash by
heart. Unfortunately, something doesn't go quite right as I got the next
kind of message:

(at node n2 after applications have started and I'm about to signal kill to
the beam to crash it):
"...
=PROGRESS REPORT==== 8-Jan-2003::22:20:46 ===
         application: erlyhack_map_app
          started_at: 'n2@REDACTED'
Killed
jabba@REDACTED:~/temp/dist_ac> heart: Wed Jan  8 22:22:24 2003: Erlang has
closed.
Kernel pid terminated (application_controller) (shutdown)
heart: Wed Jan  8 22:22:39 2003: Executed "/usr/local/bin/erl -name
n2@REDACTED -boot /home/jabba/temp/dist_ac/releases/1.0/hack -config
/home/jabba/temp/dist_ac/releases/1.0/sys". Terminating."

I've set up HEART_COMMAND as
export HEART_COMMAND='/usr/local/bin/erl -name n2@REDACTED -boot /home/jabba/temp/dist_ac/releases/1.0/hack -config /home/jabba/temp/dist_ac/releases/1.0/sys'

and started the node by manually by command:
erl -name n2@REDACTED -boot /home/jabba/temp/dist_ac/releases/1.0/hack -config /home/jabba/temp/dist_ac/releases/1.0/sys -heart

Here's the erl_crash.dump's first lines (the whole dump is
compressed and attached):
"<Erlang crash dump>

If I understand it, stdlib could not be loaded. I just cannot understand
why. Manually executing the HEART_COMMAND works just ok, so I'm bit puzzled
with this. Propably it's just something simple, that I just cannot find by
myself. If you know the problem or can point to a direction, please help
me.

Thank you,
