[erlang-questions] Emacs: Debugger buffer not showing program output

[Vishnu Gopal]

For people stumbling on this, the distel trunk seems to be broken.

Try it with:

svn co -r {2007-07-01} http://distel.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ distel

Thanks a bunch to Bill Clementson for helping and to Vladmir Piskarev
for coming up with the solution.

Regards,
Vish
