Problem with node name

[Chandrashekhar Mullaparthi]

Chandrus-Mac:~/temp chandru$ erl -sname abcd
Erlang (BEAM) emulator version 5.2 [source]

Eshell V5.2  (abort with ^G)
(abcd@REDACTED)1>
(abcd@REDACTED)1>
(abcd@REDACTED)1> mnesia:create_schema([node()]).
ok
(abcd@REDACTED)2> mnesia:delete_schema([node()]).
ok
(abcd@REDACTED)3> mnesia:create_schema([abcd@REDACTED]).
** exited: {{unbound,'Mac'},[{erl_eval,expr,3}]} **
(abcd@REDACTED)4> mnesia:create_schema(['abcd@REDACTED']).
ok

Putting the nodename within '' takes care of all the funny characters 
in the nodename.
