[erlang-questions] clarify: Shell Crash on Compilation

[Ryan Janzen]

Hello List,

I was compiling code in the erlang shell on my Powerbook and got this:

49> c(flux_http_handshake).
*** ERROR: Shell process terminated! ***
Eshell V5.6  (abort with ^G)
1>

Is there any reason the shell should crash like this?  If I retry the  
compilation, it works.

erl --version gives:

Erlang (BEAM) emulator version 5.6 [source] [async-threads:0] [hipe]  
[kernel-poll:false]

Eshell V5.6  (abort with ^G)
1>

and I am running R12B-0 with patch.
