format error

[HEINRICH VENTER]

We are using OTP8 at the moment (historic reasons)  The code is executing on a Sun U60.  The problem is that the code between the first output and the second ouput CAN not change the value of a bound variable!??!!  The code below is exactly as it appears, nothing deleted.
We seem to have "fixed" the problem by outputting the following

finalize_result({TransactionData, R_ResponseCode, TransactionAmount, EndBalance, Flags_2, CostingInfo}, ConfigurationData) ->
   io:format("~nTransactionAmount = ~p", [TransactionAmount]),
   io:format("~n........ Finalize Result ..........."),
   io:format("~n<<< leah:close_connection >>>"),

   io:format("x"),
   io:format("~nTransactionAmount voor leah call : ~p", [TransactionAmount]), 
   io:format("x"),

(note the two lines that output an x)
But this is a HACK at best.
