format error

[Joe Armstrong]

  Hi, I tried to reproduce your  problem but failed, some of the lines
you omitted might be relevant to your problem.

  Can you post a short complete module that reproduces the problem?

  Even if you  don't intend to upgrade to the  "latest version" of OTP
(you may have good reasons not  to do this) you could possibly compile
up the latest version of OTP  and see if the error manifests itself in
the new system.

  Cheers

/Joe
